About the Author
Born in Edinburgh in 1906, the son of the city's director of education, John Innes Mackintosh Stewart wrote a highly successful series of mystery stories under the pseudonym Michael Innes. In 1936 he wrote his first mystery story, Death at the President's Lodging. With his second, Hamlet Revenge, he firmly established his reputation as a highly entertaining and cultivated writer. After the end of World War II, he returned to the UK where in 1949 he wrote the Journeying Boy, a novel notable for the richly comedic use of an Irish setting. He then settled down as a reader in English literature at Christ Church, Oxford, from which he retired in 1973. The last of the Innes novels, Appleby and the Ospreys, was published in 1986, some eight years before his death in 1994. The Times Literary Supplement said of him: "A Master—he constructs a plot that twists and turns like an electric eel: it gives you shock upon shock and you cannot let go."
Review
