Felicity Winifred Carter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Felicity Winifred Carter (December 2, 1907—1995), better known by the pen name Emery Bonnet, was an English writer of novels, detective fiction and screenplays.

She was born in Eccleshall, Staffordshire. Among the books she wrote under the Emery Bonnet pseudonym were Never Go Dark, Make Do with Spring and High Pavement. Her husband John Hubert Arthur Coulson also penned detective fiction, such as Perish the Thought, under the nom de plume John Bonnet. They were married in London on January 21, 1939.

Together, as John and Emery Bonnet, they wrote numerous mystery, suspense and detective novels such as Dead Lion, A Banner for Pegasus, No Grave for a Lady, Better Dead, The Private Face of Murder, This Side Murder, The Sound of Murder and No Time to Kill. They also collaborated on the story and screenplay of a low-budget, 60-minute, regional comedy, Children Galore (1955), directed by Terence Fisher. Untypically for the authors of murder and mayhem stories, it was a bright and cheerful original plotline about elderly English small-town matriarchs competing with each other to win a contest centered on the size of their children's families.
