Sticker residue inside front cover. There could be a rotten apple at the Weltham Institute of Pomology. While all the employees gathered in the common room to sip afternoon tea and munch on digestive biscuits, someone slipped into the Director's office and slit his throat. Was it the brash young researcher he passed over for an important promotion? The reformed alcoholic he pressured into drinking at the local pub? The mysterious thief he caught stealing barbiturates? Beautiful Emma Ritchie knew who had the best motive.but proving who had the opportunity might be a matter of time. Elizabeth Ferrars (6 September 1907 30 March 1995), born Morna Doris MacTaggart, was a British crime writer. During more than 50 years of writing, she wrote more than 70 novels. Morna MacTaggart was born the fifth child of Peter Clouston and Marie MacTaggart (née Ferrars) in Rangoon (currently Yangon), during British rule in Burma. The deteriorating political climate between Britain and Germany before World War I led to her family sending her to England. There, she attended the non-denominational Bedales School from 1918 to 1924. She claimed in later years that she never would have been able to write crime novels if she had not learned German as a child, the rigorous sentence structure and complex rules of grammar being an indispensable preparation for the architecture of a crime thriller. Unable to study English Literature, because she was never taught Latin or Greek, she took a diploma in journalism at London University (19251928), and wrote two first novels under her own name in the early 1930s. It was at this time that she met and married her first husband, Alan G. Staniland, who had a keen interest in contemporary literature, owned a first edition of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, and was a talented amateur water colorist. Around 1940, she met a lecturer in Botany at Bedford College, Dr. (later Professor) Robert Brown, (1908-1995) and the same year her first crime novel, Give a Corpse a Bad Name, was published. She separated from her first husband and lived with Robert Brown in Belsize Park, London, from 1942. However, she did not obtain a divorce and marry Brown until October 1945. She remained on friendly terms with her first husband, who also remarried. In 1951 she and her new husband moved to Cornell University in the USA, where her husband had been offered a post. Notwithstanding the financial attraction of such a posting in austerity postwar Britain, they returned a year later owing to the atmosphere of McCarthyism. Having seen the rise of fascism in Europe, they were disturbed by the "witch-hunts" against many writers and academics accused of communist sympathies. In 1953, she became one of the founding members of the Crime Writers' Association, for which she served as chairperson in 1977. In 1958, she became a member of the famed Detection Club. From 1957, when her husband was appointed Regius Professor of Botany at the University of Edinburgh, they lived in Edinburgh until shortly after his retirement in 1977. Citing the long, cold winters as a reason, they then moved south to the village of Blewbury in Oxfordshire, where they lived until her sudden death in 1995. She professed no religious faith and was probably instrumental in turning her husband from distinct evangelism in the 1930s towards agnosticism. She was buried in Blewbury in a non-religious ceremony. Her final novel, A Thief in the Night, was published posthumously in 1995. She was survived by a nephew, Peter MacTaggart, who holds the copyright of her novels. In the United States, her novels were published under the name E. X. Ferrars, her US publishers assuring her that "the 'X' would 'do it'". Though the majority of Ferrars's works are standalone novels, she also wrote several series. Her first five novels all feature Toby Dyke, a freelance journalist, and his companion, George, who uses several surnames and is implied to be a former criminal. Late in her career, she began writing about a semi-estranged married couple, Virginia and Felix Freer, and a retired botanist, Andrew Basnett. Several of her short stories also feature an elderly detective called Jonas P. Jonas. Her extraordinary output owes a great deal to considerable self-discipline and diligent method. Her plots were worked out in detail in hand-written notebooks before being filled out in typed manuscript; she said that they were worked backwards from the denouement. She based characters and situations on people she knew and things she had seen in real life. She traveled with her husband when his academic career required, for example to Adelaide where he was a visiting professor at the University of South Australia, and on holidays, especially to Madeira, which they loved. Her books are written so that readers are spared from violence or extreme unpleasantness. Due to their backgrounds, her characters do not expect crime or violence to impinge on their lives. They are educated, and often work in academic or artistic fields. Female characters are independent and "politely feminist." First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.
