Dagobert Brown\u2019s always got a new interest, Gregorian chant, wildflowers, sixteenth-century French poetry. His latest hobby, however, is murder\u2014or at least, the murder mystery he wants Jane Hamish to write. Jane is the practical one, a no-nonsense girl, who has one weakness: Dagobert, who exasperates her and intrigues her in equal parts. \u201cDagobert is my hero,\u201d she says, \u201cbut he persistently refuses to act like one.\u201d So, together they start looking at people in Harriet\u2019s office for plot ideas. Mrs. Robjohn seems like the perfect victim for Jane\u2019s book: a lonely, delusional spinster who haunts the law offices where Jane works, telling everyone who\u2019ll listen that sinister men are following her. When Mrs. Robjohn\u2019s found dead of gas poisoning in her flat, Dagobert won\u2019t believe it\u2019s an accident. Dragging Jane with him through 1940s London, from pub to nightclub to deserted warehouse district, Dagobert throws himself enthusiastically\u2014if eccentrically\u2014into sleuthdom, determined to track down a real-life killer. In their easy camaraderie and witty banter, Dagobert and Jane bring to mind Dashiell Hammett\u2019s Nick and Nora, but Jane is every inch Dagobert\u2019s intellectual equal and partner in detection. A classic Golden Age mystery, She Shall Have Murder, the first in Delano Ames\u2019s Dagobert and Jane Brown series, stands up to the best in its genre today. But its absorbing portrayal of life in London between the wars adds another dimension, highlighted in this annotated Manor Minor Press edition.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
