E. C. R. Lorac spins a twisting tale full of wry humor and red herrings, poking some fun at her contemporary reviewers, who long suspected the Lorac pseudonym to belong to a male author.

Vivian Lestrange--celebrated author of the popular mystery novel The Charterhouse Case and total recluse--has apparently dropped off the face of the Earth. After he was reported missing by his secretary Eleanor, whom Inspector Bond suspects to be the author herself, crime and murder are afoot when Lestrange's housekeeper is also found to have disappeared.

Bond and Warner of Scotland Yard set to work to investigate a murder with no body and a potentially fictional victim.

With copies of the first and only edition incredibly rare today, Death of an Author returns to print for the first time since 1935. This edition includes an introduction by CWA Diamond Dagger and Edgar(R) Award-winning author Martin Edwards.

The watch of our era
Color: Blackout
Bought this ‘used’ but looks like only the box had some ‘damage’ but the watch was perfectly brand new. I’ve been wearing a timex Ironman watch since my tenth birthday. I’ve served in the Marine corps and wore one while on tour. I’ve worn them snorkeling and diving. I’m a mechanic and have worn it on my belt loop while working, and depending what I’m doing I’ll leave it on. I wear it in the shower, the pool, beach, kayaking, skydiving, mudding, surfing, fishing, shooting, and while relaxing in my recliner. I’ve only had one battery die, and it was easily replaced. This is the watch of our era. Stop reading this review and buy one!

Very dim
Color: Black/Yellow Accent
This was a gift for our son. The watch functions well, but I returned it because the screen was very hard to read.

Hard to set day/date.
Color: A-Black
Watch very professional looking and appears to be well made. Everything about this watch is what I have been looking for at a reasonable price. The only issue I have is how to set the watches features, time, date, and day. The instructions are very clear and well written, to a point. That point being the instructions say to move the "crystal" to the first notch, to adjust the day/date, and the second notch for to set the time. What the instructions fail to mention is the day/date adjustment must be turned a full 24 hours to the next day or date settlings. Also, trying to hit just the second notch is almost impossible as the is no distinct way of knowing if you are in it or not,
