So Bad a Death
The return of Maggie Byrnes, heroine of Murder in the Telephone Exchange, So Bad a Death is June Wright's second novel, which she originally planned to call Who Would Murder a Baby? Her publishers demurred, but under any title it's a worthy sequel to Murder in the Telephone Exchange.

Description
June Wright was mostly forgotten until the reissue last year of her 1948 bestseller Murder in the Telephone Exchange (also available from Turnaround), when a new generation of readers fell in love with her blend of intrigue, wit, and suspense – and her sharp-eyed, outspoken sleuth, Maggie Byrnes.
In this sequel, So Bad a Death, Maggie is living in the suburbs, but violent death dogs her footsteps even in apparently tranquil Middleburn. It's no great surprise when an unpopular local bigwig is shot, but Maggie suspects someone is also targeting his infant heir.

Her novels are characterized by feisty female protagonists and realistic social settings.
Lucy Sussex is a novelist and story writer (The Scarlet Rider, Matilda Told Such Dreadful Lies), and also a renowned literary historian (Women Writers and Detectives in Nineteenth-Century Crime Fiction: The Mothers of the Mystery Genre).
