Synopsis "Death Makes a Prophet (British Library Crime Classics)"
Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of MurderThe 'stranger in a strange land' premise works really well in this revived mystery...Bude infuses the tale with comic commentary throughout. --Booklist'Small hostilities were growing; vague jealousies were gaining strength; and far off, wasn't there a nebulous hint of approaching tragedy in the air?'Welworth Garden City in the 1940s is a forward-thinking town where free spirits find a home--vegetarians, socialists, and an array of exotic religious groups. Chief among these are the Children of Osiris, led by the eccentric High Prophet, Eustace K. Mildmann. The cult is a seething hotbed of petty resentment, jealousy and dark secrets--which eventually lead to murder. The stage is set for one of Inspector Meredith's most bizarre and exacting cases.This witty crime novel by a writer on top form is a neglected classic of British crime fiction.
