Death in High Heels

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.

The pursuit of fashion is a matter of life and death in the debut novel from Christianna Brand, one of the Queens of Golden Age crime fiction. Life in the West End dress shop Christophe et Cie is hard enough with all the pressures of delivering Frank Bevan's business vision and then comes murder, delivered by oxalic acid, transforming the boutique into a crime scene. Featuring a colourful cast of designers, models, shop floor assistants and the fresh-faced Inspector Charlesworth, this 1941 mystery brims with Brand's signature wit and ruthless twists.
