Death in High Heels is a 1941 crime novel by the British author Christianna Brand.[1] Her debut novel, it featured Inspector Charlesworth, a young detective with Scotland Yard, who is called in when a young woman is murdered at an upmarket dress shop in London's Bond Street.
The same year Brand published Heads You Lose, the first novel featuring her best-known detective Inspector Cockrill, and she did not return to a solo sequel featuring Charlesworth until The Rose in Darkness in 1979. However, Charlesworth did make appearances in the Cockrill novels Death of Jezebel (1948) and London Particular (1952); additionally, the Mr Cecil character reappeared in the Cockrill novel Tour de Force (1955)
