Product Information
Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. This edition features an afterword by crime writing expert and award-winning writer Barry Forshaw. It was not until several weeks after he had decided to murder his wife that Dr Bickleigh took any active steps in the matter. So begins the classic crime novel Malice Aforethought. Dr Edmund Bickleigh and his insufferable wife Julia are hosting a tennis party where gossip rivals tennis as the most interesting sport. The seemingly genteel doctor is unable to tolerate his wife's incessant henpecking any longer, distracted as he is by his young and attractive female guests. And as his passion for one in particular, the mysterious Madeleine Cranmere, grows, so does his resolve to murder his wife . . . Francis Iles's novel is one of the earliest and finest examples of the inverted detective story - we know who committed the crime, the question is, will he get away with it? Set in stuffy 1920s England and told from the perspective of the devious Dr Bickleigh himself, Malice Aforethought is impeccably plotted and darkly comic.Product Identifiers

Fascinating psychological thriller
Fascinating psychological thriller, tense and strangely gripping - gets inside the mind of a man who decides to murder and the close-knit stifling small town society in which he lives. The central character while seemingly a respectable pillar of the community has a quite modern amorality and the detail of plot and setting is intriguing. Written at the end of the 1920s and now republished by Macmillan Collectors Library, this 2019 edition is a beautiful small hardback with gilt edging - excellent quality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
