Margaret Addison

    Diese Autorin ist inspiriert vom Goldenen Zeitalter der Kriminalliteratur und schreibt Kriminalromane, die in Landhäusern spielen. Dabei legt sie Wert auf clevere Deduktion und sorgfältig versteckte Hinweise statt auf explizite Gewaltdarstellung. Ihre Absicht ist es, dem aufmerksamen Leser genügend Anhaltspunkte zur Lösung des Falls zu geben, ohne ihn zu einfach zu gestalten. Letztlich sollen die Bücher auch denjenigen Lesern Freude bereiten, die einfach gute Krimis genießen.
