Portrait of a Murderer
This title is part of our 3 for 2 offer on British Library Fiction.
Introduces a new woman writer to the series, highly regarded by ‘queen of crime fiction’ Dorothy Sayers.
Adrian Gray was born in May 1862 and met his death through violence, at the hands of one of his own children, at Christmas, 1931. Thus begins a classic crime novel published in 1933, a riveting portrait of the psychology of a murderer. Each December, Adrian Gray invites his extended family to stay at his lonely house, Kings Poplars. None of Gray’s six surviving children is fond of him; several have cause to wish him dead. The family gathers on Christmas Eve – and by the following morning, their wish has been granted.
