'Was he really?'</em></p><p><em>'I'm afraid so. From behind. He was sitting at his desk.'</em></p><p>The soignée actress Tessa Crichton would rather be shopping and generally luxuriating in the pleasure of being newly married. However, she is soon embroiled in a plot involving an old acquaintance (murdered) and a friend (blackmailed). Being as shrewd as she is mischievous she begins to draw various conclusions, not all of them correct.</p><p>Many of the encounters in the story take place during Tessa's visits to a London department store, the top floor being a bar open to any customer who spends over twenty-five pounds. Here lies part of the secret which is bedevilling Robin, Tessa's husband, at Scotland Yard - who hates blackmailers more than any other criminals. But will Tessa get a bit too knowing, and will her own life then be at stake?</p><p><em>Murder in Married Life</em> was originally published in 1971. This new edition features an introduction and afterword by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.</p><p>'Miss Morice has an acute ear for dialogue and a pretty, slightly acid, wit. Every page is amusing - and there are not many books of which that could be said.' <em>Tablet</em></p><p>'Relaxing, polished entertainment of high order.' <em>Daily Telegraph</em></p>
