Short biography
Colwyn Edward Vulliamy (1886-1971) was a Welsh biographer and historian. He was educated privately and studied art under Stanhope Forbes. He entered the Army in WW1 and served in France, Macedonia and Turkey. After the war he wrote mainly biographies and humour, but also produced several inverted mystery novels. He married Eileen Hynes in 1916 and had two children. She died in 1943. His best-known book is The Vicar's Experiments (1932), written under the pseudonym Anthony Rolls.

We know the victim and we know the would-be murderers--but we are never sure who actually killed the victim: his wife, deliberately; his doctor, experimenting with new treatments; or himself? an interesting twist on the mystery genre.
