Judges’ comments

A deliciously dark yet escapist take on a classic murder mystery, this 1960s set whodunnit featured a fearless yet bookish heroine, romantic entanglements with mysterious men, and a high society death. We loved the New England setting, our heroine being thrown into a glittering new world, and the brilliant character and humour.
