Description
Christabel Strange's sudden death at 32 left her loved ones with many unanswered questions. Her will was complex and surprising, leaving one part of her ancestral home to friend Marcia Wentworth for ongoing use, while the rest remained with her mother, grandmother, and siblings. A condition of her will was that Marcia would write a biography, but Christabel's 16 volumes of diaries were bequeathed to her eccentric grandmother, who refused to allow Marcia access. As Dr George Caradew, Christabel's childhood friend, became embroiled in the dispute over her estate, he began to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. The initial cause listed was a fever, but as another murder occurred and a volume of the diaries went missing, it became clear that foul play was at work. Gradually, Caradew pieced together the clues to Christabel's hidden life. Mary Fitt is the pen name of Kathleen Freeman, a classical scholar who wrote 29 mysteries and short stories under this pseudonym before her death in 1959.
