'Then I felt his warm hand grow cold, it was as if he had been
reminded of death. He wasn’t looking at me any more, but
obliquely, across the restaurant. I turned round.' Sarah has been
receiving threatening anonymous letters seemingly from a former
lover. Just one day after revealing this information to her co-
worker Nancy, Sarah is shot and found in her bedroom by one of her
past flames, Donald. Desperate to clear any evidence of Donald’s
presence at the scene for her own infatuations, Nancy finds herself
as the key suspect when she is discovered in the apartment. As the
real killer uses the situation to their advantage, Bennett crafts a
tense and nuanced story through flashbacks to Sarah’s life and
loves in this Gold- Dagger-award-winning story of deceit and
murder.

'There are a dozen clever deceptions in the book, twice as many as
most writers would have given us.' - Julian Symons in Bloody Murder
Hugh Everton was intent on nothing more than quietly drinking in
the second-rate hotel he found himself in on England's south coast
- and then in walked his old flame Lucy and her new husband and
ex-Judge, Gregory Bath. Entreated by Lucy to join her party for an
evening back at the Bath residence, Hugh is powerless to resist,
but when the night ends with the judge's inexplicable murder he is
pitched back into a world of chaos and crime - a world he had tried
to escape for good. First published in 1952, The Widow of Bath
offers intricate puzzles, international intrigue and a richly
evoked portrait of post-war Britain, all delivered with Bennett's
signature brand of witty and elegant prose.
Four men were due to fly to Dublin. When disaster struck and the
plane went down over the Irish sea, only three of them were on
board. With the identities of the flyers scattered to the winds,
the police turn to the patchy account of the Wade family, whose
memory of their past few days must hold the key to this elusive and
tense mystery. Who was the man who didn't fly? And what did he have
to gain? Proof in one novel that Margot Bennett's tight and
suspenseful writing is long overdue rediscovery. Also includes the
rare short story 'No Bath for the Browns'.
