At once a compelling murder mystery and a moving exploration of love and grief, critically acclaimed author Nicola Upson's eighth Josephine Tey mystery is a force to be reckoned with. In the summer of 1915, the sudden death of a young girl brings grief and notoriety to Charleston Farmhouse on the Sussex Downs. Years later, Josephine Tey returns to the same house--now much changed--and remembers the two women with whom she once lodged as a young teacher during the Great War. As past and present collide, with murders decades apart, Josephine is forced to face the possibility that the scandal which threatened to destroy those women's lives hid a much darker secret.

A brilliant and original fiction debut set in the exotic world of 1930s British theatreMarch 1934. Revered mystery writer Josephine Tey is traveling from Scotland to London for the final week of her celebrated play Richard of Bordeaux. But joy turns to horror when her arrival coincides with the murder of a young woman she had befriended on the train ride, and Tey quickly finds herself plunged into a mystery as puzzling as any of those in her own works.Detective Inspector Archie Penrose is convinced that the killing is connected to her play. Richard of Bordeaux has been the surprise hit of the season, with pacifist themes that strike a chord in a world still haunted by war. Now, however, it seems that Tey could become the victim of her own success, as her reputation—and even her life—is put at risk.A second murder confirms Penrose's suspicions that somewhere among this flamboyant theatre set is a ruthless and spiteful killer. Together, Penrose and Tey must confront their own ghosts in search of someone who will stop at nothing.An Expert in Murder is both a tribute to one of the most enduringly popular writers of crime and a richly atmospheric detective novel in its own right.

Voted greatest mystery novel of all time by the Crime Writers’ Association in 1990, Josephine Tey recreates one of history’s most famous—and vicious—crimes in her classic bestselling novel, a must read for connoisseurs of fiction, now with a new introduction by Robert Barnard. Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, recuperating from a broken leg, becomes fascinated with a contemporary portrait of Richard III that bears no resemblance to the Wicked Uncle of history. Could such a sensitive, noble face actually belong to one of the world’s most heinous villains—a venomous hunchback who may have killed his brother’s children to make his crown secure? Or could Richard have been the victim, turned into a monster by the usurpers of England’s throne? Grant determines to find out once and for all, with the help of the British Museum and an American scholar, what kind of man Richard Plantagenet really was and who killed the Little Princes in the Tower. The Daughter of Time is an ingeniously plotted, beautifully written, and suspenseful tale, a supreme achievement from one of mystery writing’s most gifted masters.

A CUP OF TEY, The Daughter of Time; Brat Farrar; Miss Pym Disposes Hardcover by Josephine Tey (Author)

Neuware - In der publizierten Biografie des Simplicissimus-Verlegers Albert Langen klaffte bislang eine Lücke: seine Liebe zur Norwegerin Josephine Rensch. Für sie, Angestellte im Pariser Haushalt der Langens, trennte er sich von seiner Ehefrau Dagny Bjørnson und sie begleitete ihn über mehrere Jahre bis zu seinem frühen Tod. Der kürzlich in Norwegen aufgefundene Nachlass von Josephine Rensch enthüllt Aspekte ihres Lebens mit Albert Langen im gemeinsamen Haus in München-Schwabing, erzählt von den Reisen des Paares und dokumentiert dessen gesellschaftlichen Umgang. Mehr als 200 Bilder, Briefe und Dokumente decken nicht nur eine bisher unbekannte Beziehung auf, sondern geben zugleich neue Einblicke in das Leben Albert Langens. In einer nahezu detektivischen Arbeit hat Detlef Seydel den Nachlass von Josephine Rensch aufbereitet, unterstützt von Nachkommen der beiden Protagonisten. Das Ergebnis ist in dieser beeindruckenden Dokumentation einer großen, leidenschaftlichen Liebe niedergelegt.

"The Man in the Queue" is the first case for Scotland Yard Inspector Grant who was to become the hero of five of Josephine Tey's mystery novels.

It is set in London and is concerned with a mysterious murder that is committed whilst people are queuing in front of the Woofington Theatre to see the final performance of Didn't You Know? starring Ray Marcable, the sensation of the moment. Written over 80 years ago, in 1929, this crime novel has aged amazingly well and is mostly concerned with the personalities and motivations of the characters.

Neu -Ausstellung und Katalog setzen sich mit der Frage auseinander, ob gängige Kategorien von Geschmack heute noch brauchbar sind, und welche Bedeutung sie innerhalb der zeitgenössischen Kunst haben. Antworten formulieren Künstler wie John Bock, Josephine Meckseper, Katharina Grosse oder das Designerduo M/M (Paris). Ein Exkurs in die Zeit um 1800, als die ersten Bildergalerien in Deutschland eingerichtet wurden, bietet zudem die Chance, dem traditionellen Auftrag einer öffentlichen Institution wie der Staatlichen Kunsthalle Baden-Baden als »Geschmacksbildungseinrichtung« nachzuspüren und Entwicklungslinien zu erkennen.
