Welcome to Litsy!

For the time being this is the last Beryl and Edwina murder mystery. Even though it was foreseeable at some points, it was a funny and twisted story. I am not sure if the series came to end with this one because the conclusion sounded a little bit like it and there aren‘t many citizen of Wolmsley Parva left to kill off. 😜😜😜

The secondlast murder mystery of the Beryl and Eswina series shows us more about their past at the Finishing school. They meet old acquaintances and of course somebody dies. 😜😂

This is fiction, but is based on/inspired by a true crime which culminated in the penultimate execution of a woman in Britain in the 1950s. It‘s told from the viewpoint of Zina and also her young Greek translator, Eva, and encompasses immigration, cultural translation and the treatment of women, particularly in the legal system, as well as the “whodunnit” element itself. The courtroom scenes are particularly sobering.

This is a historical crime novel based on an actual event…and it‘s so well written and intriguing!
Life isn‘t easy for Greek grandma Zina. Especially now that she‘s been accused of a crime in London where she does not speak the language. Enter Eva into Zina‘s life. It‘s the 1950s and translating for the accused was an afterthought. That age-old mother in law vs daughter in law relationship
