'The life of one of the great golden age crime writers is granted a forensic examination in Josephine Tey.' -The Independent, Best Crime Books of 2015
'This is the first biography of Josephine Tey and Henderson goes through the few facts of Mackintosh s life with a forensic thoroughness and finds no secrets lurking. Henderson here pays important tribute to a mind boiling with creativity that came to fruition in the ordered habits of a quiet life.' -The Oldie
'Henderson is an Invernessian herself and she seems to take MacKintosh s neglect personally. In the age of Google-aided, instant biography it s a pleasure to read one that is the product of time, care and passion.' --The National
'This is the image of Josephine Tey which Henderson leaves us: not a closeted introvert forever scuttling back to Inverness out of shyness, but a strong woman who put her duty to her family and her work before everything else.'-The Telegraph
'...becomes at a stroke the definitive volume.' -Barry Forshaw, Crime Time
'Sterling, superb, and all manner of superlatives -- this book is a must-read for anyone even remotely interested in Josephine Tey. Henderson has done an invaluable service to Tey fans everywhere through her meticulous research...there's so much here about this woman's life that frankly, if you're a Tey reader, you will not want to miss a single word.' -Crime Segments
'Absorbing first biography of the crime and mystery writer.' -The Bookseller
'This is an interesting read and it was good to add some meat to the bones of this elusive writer.' -Crime Squad
'[Tey] was in danger of being forgotten before the publication of a new and comprehensive account of her life and work.' --Celtic Connection
'Until now, Josephine Tey was herself the greatest mystery at the heart of her fiction.' -Val McDermid
'A book which, by foregrounding the life and work of a writer who should never have been neglected, deserves the widest of readership.' -Andrew Hook, The Scottish Review
'A much needed biography of one of the great mystery writers of the twentieth century. Josephine Tey is also a well-kept secret in Scottish Literature: a forensic stylist and the most elegant of minds.'-Professor Gerard Carruthers, University of Glasgow
This biography by Jennifer Morag Henderson is to be warmly welcomed and will be read eagerly by anyone curious about Josephine Tey, modern theatre, crime genre fiction, women s writing, or Scottish literature, in all its multi-faceted complexity.' --Professor Alan Riach, Scottish Literature, University of Glasgow
