Three Full Length Novels in One Whose Body by Dorothy L. SayersThe Westminster Mystery by Elaine HamiltonThe Clifford Affair by A. E. FieldingPrior to World War I, detective fiction in Britain was largely a male preserve, but in the period between the wars-an era that has been called the Golden Age of British Mysteries-women authors in Britain not only embraced the genre, but came to dominate it. Authors such as Sayers, Allingham, Marsh not to mention the great Agatha Christie topped the best sellers lists, but there were numerous other women writers working to satisfy the public's demand for mystery fiction. Unfortunately, many of these authors are virtually unknown today. This volume brings together the first mystery novel of one of the best known of these writers, Dorothy L. Sayers' Whose Body?, along with novels by two of the lesser known women of the period, Elaine Hamilton's The Westminster Mystery and A. E. Fielding's The Clifford Affair, in the hopes that it will serve as an introduction to the British Women of Mystery.
