Ladies of Class and The Poison Pen by Marjorie Owen

50 Year Anniversary

Approximately fifty years ago Marjorie Owen decided she wanted to try her hand at writing a book.  She sat down with a pad of legal size, yellow paper and began writing on both sides.  The result was her first murder mystery book ‘Ladies of Class’ followed by a sequel book ‘The Poison Pen’.  Both books feature Detective Chief Inspector Richard Hayward of Burshill Constabulary.  Hayward has the exceptional ability to solve crimes that are generally a puzzle to his colleagues in the police force.

Marjorie found time to write many short stories and four novels ranging from romance to mystery during her lifetime.  She did not attempt to publish any of her writings and did not tell anyone including family of her writings.  We can only surmise that she wrote for the joy and did not wish to seek out any recognition or fame.

When Marjorie passed away at the age of 93 her son and daughter-in-law found the books and stories and sort publication of the first book. http://www.vinspirepublishing.com/#!ladies-of-class/c1smk   accepted and published ‘Ladies of Class’ in 2008.  At the beginning of 2014 http://www.vinspirepublishing.com/#!the-poison-pen/c22uc published the sequel, ‘The Poison Pen’.

Readers of her books have expressed great enthusiasm for Marjorie’s ability to write about an era where a mystery needed to be solved using wit.
