Description
First published in 1948, when it was the best-selling mystery of the year in the author's native Australia, Murder in the Telephone Exchange stars feisty young operator Maggie Byrnes.
When one of her more unpopular colleagues is murdered—her head bashed in with a 'buttinsky,' a piece of equipment used to listen in on phone calls—Maggie resolves to turn sleuth.
Narrated with verve and wit, this is a whodunit in the tradition of Dorothy L. Sayers and Daphne du Maurier. By turns entertaining and suspenseful, it builds to a gripping climax.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Murder in the Telephone Exchange is praised for its classic mystery style, likened to Georgette Heyer's works with its clever sleuth. It offers an engaging glimpse into the past through its detailed narrative, lively characters, and inventive plot.
