Who Killed Stella Pomeroy?

"There's one thing which I daresay you noticed-that pair of slippers half kicked under the bath were of men's size." "Yes, I noticed that, too, and they were sprinkled with blood." A man went calmly about his work while his wife lay dead in the house. After he is arrested and accused of the murder, doubt is cast regarding his guilt. Richardson is assigned the case. Richardson delves into the murdered woman's strange background, and becomes convinced that the law is holding an innocent man. With dogged persistence and courage he pursues the sinister figure who dominated the terrible business. Will he, in the end, with the aid of an initialled handbag and an initialled hammer, bring the case to a successful end and finds the guilty person? Who Killed Stella Pomeroy? was originally published in 1936. This new edition, the first in many decades, features an introduction by crime novelist Martin Edwards, author of acclaimed genre history The Golden Age of Murder. "Sir Basil Thomson's tales are always good reading, and he has the knack of being accurate about Scotland Yard…I find (Richardson) a most agreeable companion" Dorothy L. Sayers
