The Crozier Pharaohs

Also by Gladys Mitchell

speedy death

mystery of a butcher’s shop

the longer bodies

the saltmarsh murders

death at the opera

the devil at saxon wall

dead man’s morris

come away death

st. peter’s finger

printer’s error

brazen tongue

hangman’s curfew

when last i died

laurels are poison

the worsted viper

sunset over soho

my father sleeps

the rising of the moon

here comes a chopper

death and the maiden

the dancing druids

tom brown’s body

groaning spinney

the devil’s elbow

the echoing strangers

merlin’s furlong

faintley speaking

watson’s choice

twelve horses and the hangman’s noose

the twenty-third man

spotted hemlock

the man who grew tomatoes

say it with flowers

the nodding canaries

my bones will keep

adders on the heath

death of a delft blue

pageant of murder

the croaking raven

skeleton island

three quick and five dead

dance to your daddy

gory dew

lament for leto

a hearse on may day

the murder of busy lizzie

a javelin for jonah

winking at the brim

convent on styx

late, late in the evening

noonday and night

fault in the structure

wraiths and changelings

mingled with venom

nest of vipers

mudflats of the dead

uncoffin’d clay

the whispering knights

the death-cap dancers

here lies gloria mundy

death of a burrowing mole

the greenstone griffins

cold, lone and still

no winding-sheet
