"Her writing is moment by moment intense, and successful as such...
What propels the reader through the pages is not the tug of 'who
done it' nor the excitement of men with guns coming through doors,
but the sheer excellence of the writing." - H.R.F. Keating A car
speeds down a road between miles of marshes and estuary flats, its
passenger a young woman named Agnes, fresh from a discovery that
has turned her world turned upside down. Meanwhile, the news of a
body found on the marsh is spreading round the local area, panic
following in its wake. A masterpiece of suspense, Mary Kelly's 1962
novel follows Agnes as she casts her mind back through the past few
days to find the links between her husband, his friends, a
mysterious stranger new to the village and a case of unexplained
death. Gripping, intelligent and affecting, Due to a Death was
nominated for the Gold Dagger Award and showcases the author's
versatility and willingness to push the boundaries of the mystery
genre.
Staffordshire in the 1950s. Within the clay tanks at the pottery
company Shentall's, a body has been found. Amid cries of industrial
espionage and sabotage of this leader of the pottery industry,
there is a case of bitter murder to solve for Inspector Hedley
Nicholson. Kelly's mystery won the CWA Gold Dagger Award in 1961
for its impeccable sense of place and detail, and for the emotional
weight of its central crime. The novel is part of a shift from the
cosiness of crime novels before to mysteries characterised by their
psychological interest and affecting realism. An influential
classic.
