I read one of Ruth Dudley Edwards–it’s a good mystery, but strangely, I would not have called it humorous.

Hi Maria,

I am so glad you posted this comment! I think that I had better go and change that, then…

I just got my copy of Ruth Dudley Edwards’ first book (Corridors of Death), so should be reading it soon… I hope! I am really looking forward to reading it.

It could be me, of course. Humor is kind of an individual thing. Be interesting to read your take on it!

My guess is that you are correct… I checked her website again and found that I could have been confusing one of the books in her mystery series with one of her stand alones…

Danna,
I enjoy this site so much! It is more useful (and fun) to me than many others I have seen including Novelist. I haven’t seen any mention of Phoebe Atwood Taylor or Ngaio Marsh, though. If they are not on your lists maybe you would consider adding them. Thanks for all that hard work!

Hi Kathy,

I have a page dedicated to Ngaio Marsh on the site, but have just added Phoebe Atwood Taylor to my list of authors to do… Thans for the recommendation.
