Nicola Upson blends biography and fiction, excitement and menace, and a touch of Alfred Hitchcock in Fear in the Sunlight, a mystery starring real-life writer Josephine Tey.

Summer, 1936: Josephine Tey joins her friends in the resort village of Portmeirion to celebrate her 40th birthday. Alfred Hitchcock and his wife, Alma Reville, are there to sign a deal to film Josephine's novel, A Shilling for Candles, and Alfred Hitchcock has one or two tricks up his sleeve to keep the holiday party entertained - and expose their deepest fears. But things get out of hand when one of Hollywood's leading actresses is brutally slashed to death in a cemetery near the village. The following day, fear and suspicion take over in a setting where nothing - and no one - is quite what it seems.

Based in part on the life of Josephine Tey - one of the most popular, best-loved crime writers of the Golden Age, Nicola Upson's Fear in the Sunlight features legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock as a prominent character - and features the classic suspense and psychological tension that fans of Hitchcock films love.

The stories keep getting more interesting. Hard because of the brutality and evil. Unfortunately real. Fun having Alfred Hitchcock and made me go down a rabbit hole of looking up info.

Wow

I have enjoyed this series, the fact that Josephine Tey was an actual person makes the stories all the more interesting. The writer has paralleled actual fact and woven fact so smoothly. I feel like I’m living the life along beside them.

Intricate storyline worth the read

The story was difficult to follow and I don’t see what Hitchcock added to the plot.

Not an easy read
