Margaret Yorke was a prolific British mystery writer who published 74 novels between 1911 and 2004, primarily working in the standalone format rather than lengthy series. Born in Surrey as Margaret Beda Larminie, she adopted her more famous pen name to avoid confusion with a family member who also wrote.
