Death in High Heels

Christianna Brand

The debut mystery novel by Queen of Crime Christianna Brand, published following the success of the Crime Classics editions of Green for Danger, Death of Jezebel and more. A classic poisoning mystery inspired by the author's experience of working in retail, including all the gossip, interdepartmental backstabbing and sharply observed humour. It was adapted for the screen as a Hammer film in 1947, and for the stage by Richard Harris in 2012. Introduces readers to the youthful series detective Inspector Charlesworth, who would make his return opposite Inspector Cockrill in Death of Jezebel.
