About this listen

The Golden Age author of Green for Danger delivers "a mystery in the classic Christie-Carr-Queen manner . . . An outstanding tour de force" (The New York Times).

Few were disappointed when Raoul Vernet was found with his head bashed in, dead in a pool of his own blood. On vacation in England, the Belgian seducer comes to visit Matilda, an old flame from a few years before. She agrees despite suspicions that Vernet has been deploying his legendary charm on another member of the family: young Rosie, who has returned from her Swiss boarding school carrying a child.

None of the family members were in the house when Raoul was killed, but all were within a fog-choked London mile. Rosie calls in the brilliant Inspector Cockrill to clear the family's name, but what he finds is a twisted clan of seven people, each as likely to laugh at a murder as commit one.

What the critics say

"A mystery in the classic Christie-Carr-Queen manner...an outstanding tour de force." ( New York Times)
" Fog of Doubt is superbly tricky and meticulously deceptive; it is a classic suspense tale to be read slowly and reread often." ( The Guardian)

Found Brand’s work by accident through an anthology and decided to check out the books included in the catalogue. Im so glad I did. This is part murder mystery, part courtroom drama, it excels at both.

Stunningly crafted

Despite her reputation as one of the great “who-dunnit” writers of the previous century, I find Ms Brand drags out her storylines until one simply yearns for it to *just finish*. She writes better than Agatha Christie, but even then it all gets very boring, and rather convoluted, eventually.

Excellent narration makes it bearable
