Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Elizabeth Wharton Lemarchand (born Barnstaple, Devon, 27 October 1906 – died East Devon, 2000) was an English writer of detective novels and short stories. She was an educator by trade, employed as deputy headmistress of the Godolphin School, Salisbury from 1943 until 1960,[1] and as acting headmistress in 1959.[2] She then moved to Lowther College, North Wales, where she was headmistress from 1960 until 1961.[1] Her novels feature CDI Tom Pollard and his assistant Sergeant Toye of Scotland Yard. The first, Death of an Old Girl, was published in 1967; it was followed by 16 others. Stylistically, Lemarchand has been called "a novelist who has absorbed the general airs and graces of the Golden Age of Detection of the 1920s and 1930s, taken them to heart, but updated them to the period of the 1960s."[3]
