D.O.A. Recommends "An Expert Murder by Nicola Upson"

This was actually my first "D.O.A. Recommends" Toon, from Toonlet. No use wasting the effort of toon creation by not posting the cartoon here! I'm still reading the book. The sleuth is real life mystery author Josephine Tey (a pseudonym for Elizabeth Mackintosh but used as the character name in the novel) who wrote one of my favorite mysteries, "A Daughter of Time". Josephine is friends with a policeman who is very like the Alan Grant character in "Daughter of Time". She is also very involved with theater folk and the crime in this novel revolves around her play Richard II. I love historical mysteries and "An Expert in Murder" brings 1934 London to life, though it deals with devilishly plotted death!
Visit Nicola Upson's website for more information on this new series.
