Guilty by Definition the debut novel from the Queen of Countdown, Susie Dent is a tale of lexicographical skullduggery that will delight sleuths and crime fans alike. Susie Dent was working as a lexicographer, when she was invited to appear on Countdown, which she has appeared on since 1992. She is also an etymologist who picks a word of the day for our enlightenment and enjoyment.

About Guilty by Definition
When a series of cryptic anonymous letters arrive at the offices of the Clarendon English Dictionary, editor Martha Thornhill and her team pull them apart looking for clues. But it’s clear that while someone is trying to lead the lexicographers towards the truth, other forces are just as desperate to keep it well and truly buried.
