The Test Match Murder

With the Ashes series not very far away a book with the opening line: "The third wicket had fallen and England had scored exactly eight pitiful runs." may appeal to many readers.

The Test Match Murder, by Denzil Batchelor, was first published in 1936. Owen Brownlow investigates the murder of star English batsman John Franklyn. John dies in front of tens of thousands of spectators at the SCG - a poisoned dart in one of his cricket gloves bringing about his untimely end.

A great read for crime fiction fans as well as people interested in the world of sport or people who would just like an insight into what Sydney was like in the mid-1930s. Do you find this valuable?
