Mary Fitt was the pseudonym of Kathleen Freeman (1897-1959) a classical scholar who taught Greek at the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire in Cardiff. Starting in 1937, she wrote 27 mysteries and a number of short stories as Mary Fitt and was elected to the Detection Club in 1950.  Aside from her detective novels, Freeman published many books on classical Greece, scholarly articles and children’s stories. She lived in St Mellons in Wales with her friend Dr Liliane Marie Catherine Clopet, a family physician, who wrote short stories and fairy tales.

A nice variation on a mystery novel (no detection), dealing with a crime fifty years old, whose solution comes to light with the death of one of those involved. It is the story of the DeBoulter family, of the beautiful Mary Dazill who came as companion to the daughters, and whose fascination proved fatal to father and son. Gently sustained, as told by the vicar's wife, all in keeping with the period.
