Those with long memories, who attended the 2016 Bodies From The Library conference, will recall the excellent talk given by Jennifer Morag Henderson on Josephine Tey. Tey’s novel The Daughter of Time was voted the Greatest Crime Novel of All Time by the Crime Writer’s Association in 1990 and Jennifer’s biography Josephine Tey: A Life was included in The Observer’s list of best biographies of 2015 and was also included by The Independent in the same year’s list of best crime reads.

We are therefore very excited to learn that Jennifer has been editing a collection of Tey’s shorter works, including some previously unpublished short stories, which is expected to be published by Crippen and Landru towards the end of this year.
