The novel was first published in 1943 and features Carr's series detective, Sir Henry Merrivale, who is also known as "H.M." In "She Died a Lady," the story centers around the murder of a wealthy woman named Mrs. Merrowdene. The circumstances of the murder are perplexing and seemingly impossible, as there is no apparent way the killer could have entered or exited the room. Sir Henry Merrivale is called in to solve the case and is faced with a locked-room mystery that challenges his deductive skills and wit. Carr is celebrated for his ability to craft intricate and puzzling mysteries, and "She Died a Lady" is no exception. The novel is known for its clever plotting, suspenseful atmosphere, and the brilliant investigative mind of Sir Henry Merrivale as he unravels the enigma of the locked-room murder.
