About
"I should warn you that it is not a pretty story."
"Stories about murder rarely are."
Nobody knows who started the rumor that James McGrath murdered his wife Rosamund. Certainly, no one had seen her in a while, and she had gone off to visit a sick cousin without mentioning a trip to the neighbors. Still, everyone was inclined to accept the story, that is, until one of the neighbours meets the cousin in town, in excellent health and eager for news of country cousin Rosamund. Tessa Crichton, a guest in the Oxfordshire locale, is fascinated by this series of events. Fascination soon turns to a neat bit of detection when someone comes to her with a very strange confession.
Dipping into the case with relish, Tessa soon suspects there's murder mixed up in the mystery. But, until she comes up with a body, or two, no killer can get just deserts.
Murder Post-Dated was originally published in 1983. This new edition features an introduction and afterword by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
