Susan Gilruth

Susan Gilruth was the pen name used by the English writer Susannah Margaret Godley (1911–1992) for her seven crime and detective novels published between 1951 and 1963. While her 1956 novel A Corpse for Charybdis was adapted for the radio and broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1968 and The Snake is Living Yet (1963) was reprinted in a Japanese series alongside titles by Michael Innes and E. C. R. Lorac in the 2000s, her books have become rare collector’s items, and her stories gems to be rediscovered by a new readership.
