Product Description

Ingram

A guest lecturer at a college for women, psychologist Miss Pym steps in to prevent a young student from cheating during final exams, an act of compassion that precipitates a fatal "accident"--or was it murder?. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

About the Author

Josephine Tey is one of the best-known and best-loved of all crime writers. She began to write full-time after the successful publication of her first novel, The Man in the Queue (1929), which introduced Inspector Grant of Scotland Yard. In 1937 she returned to crime writing with A Shilling for Candles, but it wasn’t until after WWII that the majority of her crime novels were published. Josephine Tey died in 1952, leaving her entire estate to the National Trust. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Mysterious Ending, Juil 8 2002

Par	C. Seah "radiantnote" (New York, NY) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Miss Pym Disposes (Paperback)

I think the ending lacks closure but it makes you want to go back and reread the parts where Miss Pym speaks to Mary Innes after showing her the pin. I thought that the last few lines of the book were horrible but I liked the way the story ended with Miss Pym finding out just at the last moment who could have done it. The book gets four stars because it has a good solid plot. Overall, I liked it.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Thoroughly engrossing., Sep 17 1999

Par	V. Muratore (Tulsa, OK United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Miss Pym Disposes (Paperback)

Not really a member of the mystery genre, Miss Pym Disposes nevertheless keeps you fascinated. Her characters are complete and rich, and her setting descriptions create a true mental ambience. I agree with the previous reviewer who said the ending was a little weak. But I would have loved to know more about Miss Pym and Alan, wouldn't you?

4.0�toiles sur 5 Interesting, well worth reading, Avril 12 1999

Par Un client

This review is from: Miss Pym Disposes (Paperback)

I first read "Brat Farrar" when I was about 14 years of age. Over the 20 years since then I have read all of Josephine Tey's other books, most recently, "Miss Pym Disposes".

If you have not read her other works, my advice is not to start with this one. Having said that, it is well worth reading. Her ability to create exactly the right atmosphere is amazing, definitely one of those "I cant put this down until I finish it" experiences.

However, to my mind, the ending is just "wrong" - I cant say more than that without giving it away - hence the four stars instead of five.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Thought-provoking and unsettling
The setting of this book (a girls' school) is more claustrophobic than many of Tey's other mysteries, but her exploration of human nature is no less deep. Read more
