Death Before Dinner

E. C. R. Lorac - Death Before Dinner. First publ. by Collins Crime Club in 1948. On the left a White Circle edition of the late 1950s, on the right a German translation of 1956.

ECR Lorac (pseudonym of Edith Caroline Rivett) is quite forgotten today. Undeservedly so. At her very best she's close to par with the Crime Queens, I think.
