Josephine Tey fans, unite! An eleventh book is on its way this
November after over a year’s wait. Join Josephine as she sails to
Hollywood. It’s September 1939, Josephine is reunited with her
partner Marta, and Hitchcock is directing Rebecca. But while Josephine
basks in fictional drama, Hollywood glamour and exciting
meetings with the likes of Laurence Olivier, Daphne du Maurier
and Joan Fontaine, a murder needs solving in England, at the very
premises that inspired the fictional story of Rebecca. Luckily, detective
Archie Penrose is already on the scene. This book, full of real
historical figures and with a hint of romance, is perfect for all lovers
of historical cosies.
