Description
Roy Unithorne despised his wife ...
Roy knew he was destined for a better life. It was Amy. Ugly Amy who kept him back. She must be disposed of finally and for ever; he set about making plans for the disposal slowly and systematically, making allowances, as he thought, for X - the Unknown Factor.
And there was Mrs Shiplake. She was also beginning to interfere with his plans. She too must be got rid of. After all - two murders were as easy as one.

Joan Fleming was one of the most original and literate crime writers of her generation. Born in Lancashire and educated at Lausanne University she became the wife of a Harley Street eye surgeon and mother of four, and was already a successful children's author before she turned to crime. She is the author of over thirty novels and won the CWA Gold Dagger in 1962 for When I Grow Rich and again in 1970 for Young Man, I Think You're Dying. The Deeds of Dr Deadcert was made into the 1958 film Rx for Murder.
