The Pullein-Thompson sisters — Josephine Pullein-Thompson MBE (3 April 1924-[1]), Diana Pullein-Thompson (born 1 October 1925) [2] and Christine Pullein-Thompson (1 October 1925–2 December 2005[2] — are British writers of several horse and pony books (mostly fictional) aimed at children and mostly popular with girls. They started at a very young age (initially writing collectively) and they were at their peak in the 1950s and 1960s, but their popularity has endured. They have written a collective autobiography Fair Girls and Grey Horses.
The Author
All 3 sisters have written at least 1 book under a different name; Josephine wrote 1 under the pseudonym of Josephine Mann, Diana 3 books under her married name of Diana Farr and Christine wrote 2 books under the name of Christine Keir.
Their mother, Joanna Cannan (1898–1961), sister of the poet May Cannan, wrote similar equestrian stories, but is better known for detective mysteries.
The Books
The village doesn’t seem so safe anymore…
In the villages of West Wintshire, deep in ‘Horse and Hound’ territory with their colonels, captains and brigadiers, a good-looking, rich and horsey young man keels over at a cocktail party and dies. Taking a dislike to the Master of Foxhands, Mark Broughton, local Inspector Hollis immediately singles him out as the murderer and leaves it at that.
The situation gets ever more complicated when Mark’s alcoholic wife, Clara, is found dead in her bed the following evening. Nan swears no visitors came to the house over the weekend and Marks is left once again as the only suspect…
Enter D.C.I. James Flecker of Scotland Yard, whose amiable and unkempt appearance belies the fierce intelligence that suffers fools not at all.
Jealousy, blackmail and infidelity runs rife throughout the village. Everyone appears to have a motive for murder. It’s finding an opportunity which proves to be slim.
Putting his trust into inconsequent chance, will Flecker be able to solve the case before the village murderer strikes once more?
