Have just finished The Sad Variety – by Nicholas Blake. One of the forgotten detective authors of the 20th Century I feel. He was actually the poet Cecil Day Lewis and his books are generally beautifully written. This was not one of his best, but he did somehow manage to mention people living together and gay life as a normality, about 40 years before any other detective writer dared to!
I am now starting another old Green Penguin, Ellery Queen – The Door Between.
