Buy |
The Cornish Coast Murder, published in 1935, is the only entry under the Inspector Bigswell name. It was published the same year as the first Superintendent Meredith novel and shares the Golden Age style: a closed community, a shooting death, and a systematic investigation built around a specific English landscape. The Cornish coastal setting gives the book a distinct character.
