Prudence Pinsent flings her novel across the room. ''Unutterable bilge'' is her description of the typical country house murder mystery of romantic novels. The deliberate irony of this is that ''The Incredible Crime'' is precisely one such novel.
Reasons enough there for me to want to check out Austen-Leigh's other three novels which I'm hoping are also making their way back into print.
For more from the golden age we heartily recommend [[Coroner's Pidgin by Margery Allingham]] or for a more literary take on life in the 1930s the master is undoubtedly Evelyn Waugh, we'll recommend [[A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh]]. We also recommend [[The Breaking of Liam Glass by Charles Harris]].
