Про автора
Ethil Lina White (1876-1944) was an esteemed British novelist, acclaimed for her works in the mystery and crime fiction genres. Born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, she embarked upon her literary journey as a civil servant before turning to writing full-time. Central to her narrative prowess was her ability to construct spellbinding suspense and portray intricate psychological depth within her characters. While not as widely recognized as her contemporaries Agatha Christie or Dorothy L. Sayers, White’s influence permeates the mystery genre. Her oeuvre, encapsulated in the ‘British Mysteries Collection: The Complete 7 Novels & Detective Story, ‘ showcases her narrative dexterity across works like ‘The Wheel Spins’ (1936), famously adapted to film by Alfred Hitchcock as ‘The Lady Vanishes’ (1938). White’s literary style often merged the ordinary with the ominous, crafting tales where the banal veneer of British life conceals dark undercurrents. An enigmatic figure herself, White’s dedication to her craft rendered her one of the notable figures in the Golden Age of detective fiction, especially among female authors who carved a niche in the traditionally male-dominated sphere of suspense-filled storytelling.
