A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Elizabeth Ironside's The Accomplice is her her third novel. Her first, A Very Private Enterprise, showed real promise; her second, Death in the Garden, was particularly enjoyable and with her third she joins those few mystery writers you unreservedly look forward to reading. . . .a thoroughly satisfying psychological thriller.' Harriet Waugh, Spectator

...a suspenseful mystery and a heartfelt tale...Ironside's landscapes are rich, though decimated, her characters intriguing. (Wales on Sunday on A GOOD DEATH)

A Good Death is that rare animal; a novel that is both engrossing, and also able to challenge established perceptions (Yorkshire Evening Post)

'A fine, stylish book to be savoured.' James Melville, Ham & High

'Superbly handled . . . a masterly example of classic crime fiction.' F. E. Pardoe, Birmingham Post

'A spell-binding story of love, murder and deception.' Coventry Evening Telegraph

Ironside is one of the crime genre's unsung heroes, and she has produced yet another stylish, intricately plotted thriller. She manages to imbue her stories with enough colour and texture to lift them off the page: the reader once hooked, is held until the end (Yorkshire Post)

'Death in the Garden is a well-written, gripping yarn.' Dublin Sunday Independent

'Enticing murder mystery.' Manchester Evening News

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Theo Cazalle has come back from the dead: in reality, from a 'good war' spent fighting with the Free French against the Vichy regime. Unannounced, he arrives at the farm of Bonnemort, eager for a reunion with his wife. And discovers, instead, that his wife has been denounced as a collaborator, the lover of an SS officer. The same officer who was found naked, his throat cut, in front of Colonel Cazalle's house. But Cazalle is a civilized man: he decides to seek the truth about the death of the German, the humiliation of his wife, the devastation of his tiny rural community. Was Ariane Cazalle a traitor - or the bravest of heroines? As Theo Cazalle picks his way through contradictory stories of how their victims were betrayed to the Germans, he comes ever closer to the truth about the dead man.
