The Bus Station Murders (1947) by Louisa Revell

Today I am reviewing Lousia Revell’s (1910-1985) debut mystery, The Bus Station Murders. Six more were to follow, all featuring the retired spinster teacher Julia Tyler, who also operates as the amateur sleuth in the series. The other titles are: No Pockets in Shrouds (1948) A Silver Spade (1950) The Kindest Use a Knife (1952) The Men with Three Eyes (1955) See Rome and Die (1957) A Party for the Shooting (1960) And currently the first four have been reprinted by the Stark House Press. Louisa Revell was the penname for Ellen Hart Smith, who according to Curtis Evans was nicknamed ‘tip’ by her fellow students at school. It would also appear that she gained some theatre experience whilst at school.
