About June Drummond
Lived 1923 – 2011 (aged 87). June Drummond was a South African writer.
June Drummond (15 November 1923 – 3 June 2011 ) was a South African writer of mysteries. Thirty of her crime novels, often set in Durban, South Africa, or London, England, were published between 1959 and 2011.
Publishers Weekly says The Imposter, a Drummond novel set in 19th-century London, "has the razzle-dazzle plotting of a good mystery and the taut pacing of a good thriller". The reviewer likes Drummond's "crisp dialogue" and her eye for accurate historic detail and credits her with producing a "top-drawer romance, wholly engaging and perfectly entertaining."
