Reader's note

Died in the Wool is a brilliantly told novel of detection with an unusual setting - a New Zealand sheep station. One summer day a storeman in Riven Brothers’ Textile Manufactory investigates a queer smell coming from a bale of wool; he plunges an iron hook into the bale and touches something solid - it comes out with a metallic hold hair twisted around it. In this way is discovered the body of Florence Rubrick, a prominent Member of Parliament, who disappeared three weeks earlier after telling her family that she was going out to practice a speech. The story, with its case of cleverly portrayed characters, develops with exciting speed and works up to a tense climax, when Chief Detective-Inspector Alleyn solves the highly complicated mystery.
