Autorenportrait

Josephine Tey was the pseudonym for Elizabeth MacKintosh (18961952), a Scottish author best known for her mystery novels. As Tey, she has been considered one of the most influential figures in the development of the crime fiction genre, offering literary finesse and complex psychological insights within her narratives. Her career as a novelist flourished with the publication of 'The Man in the Queue' in 1929, under the name Gordon Daviot, which was a pseudonym she often used alongside Tey. Her Inspector Alan Grant series, of which titles such as 'The Daughter of Time' and 'The Franchise Affair' are most celebrated, showcase her deftness in blending mystery with sophisticated character studies. The novel 'The Daughter of Time' was particularly notable, as it challenged the historical verdict on Richard III and inspired critical discussion about the portrayal of historical figures in literature. 'BRITISH MURDER MYSTERIES: The Greatest Thrillers of Josephine Tey' is a collection that signifies her stature in the crime fiction canon, encapsulating her talent for constructing meticulously plotted mysteries. Tey's literary style is characterized by her eloquent prose, sharp dialogue, and the adept portrayal of contemporary settings, which has won her acclaim and a dedicated readership. Though her life was relatively short and her bibliography not as extensive as some of her contemporaries, her work endures through its intellectual vigor and its subtle challenge of the genre's conventional boundaries.

Informationen zu E-Books

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
