Long Shadows (A D.I. Price Mystery Book 4) Kindle Edition

A young author meets a grisly end.

Dawn Meadowes is a star on the rise in the post-war London literary circles. Beautiful, witty and with a best-seller already, she is set to have a glittering career.

When she is found dead, Detective-Superintendent Price and Sergeant Frobisher are tasked with finding the culprit of this crime of passion. A charming girl like Dawn has no shortage of admirers nor, it seems, enemies.

The detective duo quickly narrow down their suspects, but the answers to Dawn’s murder – and the way to stop another death – lie in the past and the stories not published…

The forth in the D.I. Price Mystery series, Long Shadows is an intriguing and gripping mystery tale.

Praise for Joanna Cannan



‘Brings the equipment of a high-ranking novelist… what is fascinating is to note how, while conforming to all detective-fiction rules, she has developed the ‘human situation’ to what is (in the detective story) an unusual degree’ - Elizabeth Bowen

‘That rarest of events, a thriller which succeeds in being a distinguished novel’ - K. John

‘Delightfully readable. Has a subtle twist to it which even Mrs. Christie might envy’ - New Statesman

‘A thriller which is also a first-rate novel’ - Daily Telegraph

Joanna Cannan was born in Oxford in 1898. Prior to writing detective fiction, her books primarily explored the aftermath of World War I and life in England during the Great Depression. In 1932, she settled in rural Oxfordshire with her husband and four children; all four of her children went on to become writers themselves. She began to write fiction for young readers, and published nine books for children between 1936 and 1957. During the same period she wrote two novels featuring Inspector Guy Northeast, They Rang Up the Police (1939) and Death at The Dog (1941); following a nine-year hiatus from detective fiction, she returned to the genre in 1950 with the introduction of Inspector Ronald Price in Murder Included.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read

Having read 3 stories in this series so far, this one is my favourite.

DI Price continues to be his idiotic, chauvinistic self. This time he is partnered by the charming and thoughtful Frank Frobisher as they investigate the murder of a beautiful, successful novelist.

I enjoy reading Golden Age mysteries - it was the era of my parents and grandparents and it's fascinating to glimpse into this world and to realise how attitudes have changed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average novel with mystery attached
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2018

This is really a novella, with a couple of murders and their investigation in what is really an exploration of different marriages and relationships, principally those of Alex and Ivor Fairlie and (Superintendent) Ronald and Valerie Price.

This is the second novel I have read featuring Price, who is an insufferable prig, but the constant guying of his attitudes and beliefs by the author is, also. pretty unbearable and off-putting.

As a mystery, this was easy of solution, as a novel of male/female relationships, mildly interesting.
Overall not one of the author's better works.
