The British Library
Save when you buy the set
A suspenseful, British murder mystery from crime fiction's 'golden age' that you won't want to put down! The Spoilt Kill: a private detective is hired by Shentall’s pottery to investigate industrial espionage but when a body surfaces in a vat of clay the reader is drawn into a ‘who was murdered?’ mystery as well as ‘how?’. An award-winning crime tale from 1961 evoking the Staffordshire Potteries in the 1950s by Mary Theresa Coolican (1927-2017), published under her pen name Mary Kelly.
