About the Collection

Dorothy Bowers's Chief Inspector Dan Pardoe novels offer richly plotted mysteries set against the backdrop of pre-war and wartime Britain. The series begins with Postscript to Poison, followed by Shadows Before, A Deed Without a Name, and Fear for Miss Betony.

Postscript to Poison centres on threatening anonymous letters surrounding a wealthy household and a serious illness. In Shadows Before, an apparently settled family life at a remote Cotswolds manor is disrupted when a sudden death raises troubling questions. A Deed Without a Name follows Archy Mitfold after a series of increasingly dangerous attempts are made on his life, while Fear for Miss Betony brings elderly former teacher Emma Betony into an investigation involving a struggling girls' school.

First published between 1938 and 1941, the four novels showcase Bowers's reputation for intricate plotting and subtle clues. Her work has since been brought back into print by Moonstone Press.
