When I was but a girl, my grandmother and I were a tad addicted to Ngaio Marsh, Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers books and we read them all although often lamenting the lack of local crime books with local settings. How excited were we both to discover in the late 80's / early 90's that there were local women writing really good crime fiction. Jean Bedford was one of those discoveries and we hoovered up the Anna Southwood books with relish - often reading the same book at the same time so we could share long telephone calls about them. Following on a recent trend that makes me a very happy reader, many of these groundbreaking crime fiction books are being republished, and Endeavour Press have now addressed the need to be able to access Bedford's books with the re-release of the three Anna Southwood novels:

Signs of Murder(link is external)
Worse than Death(link is external)
To Make a Killing(link is external)

and a standalone thriller:

Now You See Me(link is external)

Signs of Murder is free for a short period on http://www.amazon.com(link is external) so you can now revisit, or introduce yourself to this series. Happy to report that Now You See Me and Signs of Murder are both residing on the unfeasibly large ebook queue now.
