June Wright (1919?2012) made a splash with her 1948 ­debut, Murder in the Telephone Exchange, whose sales that year in her native Australia outstripped even those of the reigning queen of crime, Agatha Christie. Wright went on to publish five more mysteries over the next two decades while at the same time raising six children. When she died in 2012 at the age of 92, her books had been largely forgotten, but recent championing of her work by crime historians Derham Groves and Lucy Sussex, combined with reissues of all her novels by Dark Passage Books, has restored Wright to her proper place in the pantheon of crime writers.
