Description
Death and Mary Dazill by Mary Fitt is a classic mystery novel that weaves together a complex web of family secrets and tragedy. After attending a burial in an old country churchyard, Superintendent Mallett and his friends are struck by the sight of two elderly ladies placing fresh flowers on the tomb of their father and brother. However, this act of remembrance also draws attention to the neglected grave of Mary Dazill, whose life was marked by a tragic event that would have far-reaching consequences. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the arrival of enigmatic Mary at the family home set off a chain of events that would ultimately lead to murder. The novel's narrative is punctuated by flashbacks, which reveal the dark secrets and fatalistic circumstances that surrounded the Dazill family. Written by Kathleen Freeman under her pseudonym Mary Fitt, this 1940s mystery has been praised for its emotional depth and intricate plotting.
