Overview: Australian-born sisters Constance (1899-1980) and Gwenyth (1903-1985) Little, were popular mystery writers back in the Thirties and Forties. Of the 21 madcap mysteries they wrote together, all but one have the word "black" in the title. The Little sisters are referred to as "queens of the wacky cozy." They were sometimes published as Conyth Little, a portmanteau of their names.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
The Black-Headed Pins: When the miserly Mrs. Ballinger decides to invite her nieces and nephews for Christmas, her paid companion Leigh Smith sees the possibility for some fun. What Smithy doesn’t expect is to encounter the family curse. When a dragging noise is heard in the attic it foretells death. And once a Ballinger dies, if you don’t watch the body until it’s buried, it’s likely to walk.
The Black Gloves: It’s bad enough that Hammond Vickers had to shell out good money to get his daughter Lissa a Reno divorce. Then he has to endure her brute of an ex-husband showing up in the middle of a murder investigation. First published in 1939.
The Black Eye: During the waning months of World War II, sharp-tongued Eugenia Gates accepts Mary Fredon’s invitation to borrow her apartment for an unexpected two-week vacation. Mary herself is away recuperating from her own unexpected development — her colorless husband Homer apparently has skipped town with Betty, the wife next door who, unlike Mary, shares his interest in Egyptology. Unknown to Eugenia, the disconcerted Mary has also offered the use of the apartment to army sergeant Kendall Smith for his furlough. Eugenia wants to rest, the sergeant wants to party, and Lucy, the batty chaperone Mary sends when she realizes her mistake, is more interested in snooping than in keeping the sergeant from pursuing Eugenia. Other residents of the building join in their partying, including an undertaker only too eager to share the intimate details of his craft and the rakish husband of the straying spouse from next door, who seems more interested in locating a lost eye than in the whereabouts of his wife. Mary returns in time to see a murder committed and to express alarm at her guest’s untidy ways, prompting Eugenia to offer a heartfelt soliloquy on the dangers of housework. Besides, why bother about dust and crumbs when bodies are being found under beds, nestled in armchairs, or tucked away in vegetable bins?
