Shot with Crimson

di Upson Nicola (Autore)

Faber & Faber, 2023

'Always a delight.' Sunday Times I will never understand why murder is considered such a lowbrow speciality in Hollywood. September, 1939, and the worries of war follow Josephine Tey to Hollywood, where a different sort of battle is raging on the set of Hitchcock's Rebecca. Then a shocking act of violence reawakens the shadows of the past, with consequences on both sides of the Atlantic, and Josephine and DCI Archie Penrose find themselves on a trail leading back to the house that inspired a young Daphne du Maurier - a trail that echoes Rebecca's timeless themes of obsession, jealousy and murder. Readers love Nicola Upson ' Oh my, what a delight to read this was. An author absolutely in command of her craft.' ***** reader review ' I felt like I knew the Hitchcocks personally.

The Times 'There's a wonderful golden age feel . . . containing wonderful twists and turns which single out Upson as a talented author of historical crime.' Scotland on Sunday 'If Josephine Tey were alive, she would be the first to welcome a major talent.' Daily Mail
