Elizabeth Daly Books
October 15, 1878 – September 2, 1967
Elizabeth Daly captures society with extraordinary clarity through character interactions, following in the tradition of Jane Austen. While modern readers accustomed to explorations of dark pathology might find her focus on polished surfaces and unsaid things less resonant, her work offers a compelling alternative. For those who appreciate the possibility of hidden secrets beneath elegant exteriors and disdain overt confessional styles, Daly's meticulously crafted mysteries hold significant appeal. Her novels, featuring the bibliophile Henry Gamadge, are particularly cherished by fans of bibliomysteries.

Es war nur ein alter Shakespeare-Band, in dem einige Stellen unterstrichen waren. Und Adele Fisher, die das Buch Henry Gamadge brachte, war nur ein einsames Mädchen, das durch ein seltsames Ereignis berunruhigt wurde. Der Mann, den sie suchte, lag im Sterben, aber er starb anscheinend eines natürlichen Todes. Buchexperte und Privatdetektiv Henry Gamadge will es aber genau wissen und ermittelt auf eigene Faust.
