Synopsis

There could be a rotten apple at the Weltham Institute of Pomology. While all the employees gathered in the common room to sip afternoon tea and munch on digestive biscuits, someone slipped into the Director's office and slit his throat. Was it the brash young researcher he passed over for an important promotion? The reformed alcoholic he pressured into drinking at the local pub? The mysterious thief he caught stealing barbituates? Beautiful Emma Ritchie knew who had the best motive...but proving who had the opportunity might be a matter of time.

About this title

About the Author

Elizabeth Ferrars 1907-1995 One of the most distinguished crime writers of her generation, Elizabeth Ferrars was born in Rangoon and came to Britain at the age of six. She was a pupil at Bedales school between 1918 and 1924, studied journalism at London University and published her first crime novel, Give a Corpse a Bad Name, in 1940, the year that she met her second husband, academic Robert Brown. Highly praised by critics, her brand of intelligent, gripping mysteries beloved by readers, she wrote over seventy novels and was also published (as E. X. Ferrars) in the States, where she was equally popular. Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine described her as as 'the writer who may be the closest of all to Christie in style, plotting and general milieu', and the Washington Post called her 'a consummate professional in clever plotting, characterization and atmosphere'. She was a founding member of the Crime Writer's Association, who, in the early 1980s, gave her a lifetime achievement award.
