The Strange Case of Harriet Hall: An Inspector Collier Mystery

Weve managed to head off the Press men so far. But that wont last. We cant escape publicity and the reading public enjoys murders.Harriet Hall living in her isolated cottage outside the village of Larnwood might not have been everyones cup of tea but why did someone feel the need to kill her on the eve of the arrival of her young niece Amy? Why had the likeable Deene family seemingly been so in thrall to the late Harriet? The innocent in this classic murder mystery have every reason to be grateful for Inspector Collier of Scotland Yards involvement given the incompetent behavior of the local Chief Constable. But as Colliers investigation deepens the case gets stranger still. Finally however the guilty are punished - though readers will have to read through to the books final quietly devastating chapter to see just how.The Strange Case of Harriet Hall was originally published in 1936. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
