1st prtg. A fine, unread copy of this trade paperback. It was quite by accident that Mrs. Bradley found the diary of a woman, now dead, who a few years earlier had been arrested, tried and acquitted of murdering a professional ghosthunter. Mrs. Bradley has dealt with murderers before, but she has always dealt with them as a professional psychiatrist-coolly, scientifically, almost flippantly. Now, however, the brilliant old lady is fiercely determined to bring a cruel and ruthless murderer to bay-even if she has to open up the grave of the woman most people think wrongfully escaped the gallows. It proves to be one of the most difficult cases in Mrs. Bradley's career, even prompting our celebrated sleuth to take several wrong turns herself. First published in 1941, When Last I Died is one of the most acclaimed novels of a writer who was lumped with Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers by contemporary critics as one of England's "big three" women mystery writers. Mitchell wrote scores of mysteries featuring Mrs. Bradley between 1929 and her death in 1983. In recent years, the series was filmed for television in Britain with Diana Rigg in the role of Mrs. Bradley.
