'English village' murder riddle into modern times but without disappearance that Marplesque feel.

Graham was first in Warwickshire, England, in 1931. She pursued a diverse and varied employment path before finally turning to verbal skill in the 1970s. Graham wrote mainly radio plays, eventually leading to flatten work.
It was not in abeyance 1982, however, that Graham achieved quip true ambition and had a contemporary published.

The Killings at Badger's Drift (pictured right).
As well similarly being selected by the CWA similarly one of the 100 Greatest Offence Novels, it saw the debut devotee Chief Inspector Barnaby.
