It was not until several weeks after he had decided to murder his wife that Dr Bickleigh took any active steps in the matter.
So begins the classic crime novel, Malice Aforethought. Dr Edmund Bickleigh and his insufferable wife Julia are hosting their annual tennis party where gossip rivals tennis as the most interesting sport. The seemingly genteel doctor is unable to tolerate his wife’s incessant henpecking any longer, distracted as he is by his young and attractive female guests. And as his passion for one in particular, the mysterious Gwynyfryd Rattery grows, so does his resolve to murder his wife . . .
Francis Iles' classic crime novel is one of the earliest and finest examples of the inverted detective story – we know who committed the crime, the question is, will he get away with it? Set in stuffy 1930s England, and narrated by the devious Dr Bickleigh himself, Malice Aforethought is impeccably plotted and darkly comic.
