Gladys Mitchell

    Gladys Mitchell, écrivant également sous les pseudonymes de Stephen Hockaby et Malcolm Torrie, fut une auteure prolifique célébrée principalement pour ses romans à mystère. Sa création la plus durable est la détective singulière, Mme Bradley, qui apparut dans 66 de ses œuvres. Mitchell explorait la psychologie humaine complexe et les ambiguïtés morales à travers des intrigues complexes. Son style d'écriture se caractérise par une observation perspicace, un esprit vif et des rebondissements souvent inattendus qui ont captivé les lecteurs jusqu'à la toute fin.
