James, and Rowling/Galbraith, namely, John Webster’s Jacobean Revenge Drama, The Duchess of Malfi.Īgatha Christie wrote and published at least a book a year for decades (Rowling in the McDermid conversation describes Christie’s work as being “patchy” in consequence to her writing feverishly to “escape the taxman ” for more on that, see ‘ Hustle and Prose: Agatha Christie‘).

Murder at the Vicarage is the second book in this edition the first is Sleeping Murder.
