Gladys Mitchell
(d.1983)
Ex-teacher and idiosyncratic author of 66 detective stories whose main character, Dame
Beatrice Lestrange Bradley, begins her career with a murder. Mitchell stories often
feature exotic locales and long-ago crimes which are unearthed almost by accident. For
some reason the Gladys Mitchell books have not 'caught on' in the USA.
