Gladys Mitchell - Fantastic Fiction

Gladys Mitchell's first novel Speedy Death was published in 1929; it featured Beatrice Adela Lestrange Bradley, a witty, bizarre but stylishly competent sleuth whose investigations were eventually to fill over sixty books.
. . .
After then finally giving up teaching she lived at Corfe Mullen in Dorset for several years.
. . .
She wrote detective fiction with undiminished energy and adroitness well into the 1980's, and was a member of the Crime Writers' Association and the Society of Authors.
. . .
She accepted a position at the Matthew Arnold School, Staines and taught there from 1953 to 1961.
. . .

. . .
She frequently satirized or reversed traditional patterns of the genre, succumbing to black humour, creating tongue-in-cheek mysteries and treading with extreme narrative confidence the hazardous paths between spoof and classic sleuthing fiction.

Best and Worst Gladys Mitchell Books

Hangman's Curfew (need to reread - very, very busy, complex, plot, with lots of action, Mrs. Bradley at her most hyper, but plot doesn't make any sense - fun but frustrating) 45.
. . .
The Rising of the Moon (could be higher, could be lower, need to reread) 13.
. . .
My Father Sleeps (lots of fun, but confused; self- indulgent at end) (4-) 28.
. . .
With his permission, I'm posting the list with his impressions intact, as they are enjoyably astute!
. . .
The Murder of Busty Lizzie (fun, but solution's fairly arbitrary) 42.
. . .
I've posted here the lists of avid readers--myself, Nicholas Fuller, and Andrew Osmond included--which rate the Mrs. Bradley titles from most- to least- favorite.

Rue Morgue Press - Gladys Mitchell

Specializing in the psychology of crime, she also works as a private detective, though it is not always clear if she collects a fee for those services.
. . .
Just as Ellery Queen (with one notable exception) remained frozen at the age of 35 in the books published from 1940 on, Mrs. Bradley reached her mid-sixties and stayed there.
. . .
Other than the title, the identity of the first victim and the staging of a faculty-student production of The Mikado, the television version went in a completely different direction from the book.
. . .
Nor are the suspects or the motives behind the murders the same.
. . .
This may explain why many of her murderers escape the gallows or long prison terms.
. . .
She returned to teaching in 1953 before retiring for good in 1961 at the age of 60, and no doubt this explains why she so often used schools in her books.

Mrs Bradley, called in by her friend Mrs Kempson, thinks otherwise; but even with Meg and Ken's eager assistance, she can make little progress until her enquiries uncover the reckless and impudent impersonation of a man who died five years previously...

Gladys Mitchell Biography - More Information About

Mitchell maintained her teaching career and despite the obvious pressures of time, still managed to produce at least one novel a year.
. . .
Her finest hour was probably The Rising of the Moon, although The Saltmarsh Murders and Watson's Choice are also strong contenders.
. . .
With 66 novels under her belt, it is inevitable that a variance in quality will exist, although she was certainly not as inconsistent as many in the genre.
