All that was left of the garage was a heap of charred and smouldering beams. In the driving seat of the burnt-out car were the remains of a body...

An accident, said the police.

An accident, said the widow. She had been warning her husband about the danger of the car for months.

'I admire her novels...she has great fertility of invention, ingenuity and a wonderful eye for detail.' Ruth Rendell

'She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit.' P. D. James

 
When I was a kid I used to love detective novels, primarily Agatha Christie, but pretty much anything would do.
