| Titles
are British and publication date is first British. By "crime" my principle meaning is "Golden Age Detective Story". John Dickson Carr, British resident at this time, is treated as British. |
||||
| Current omissions include: | ||||
| 1)
John Creasey (and his many aliases), 2) Groupworks (e.g. Detection Club), 3) "Sexton Blake" series, 4) Bruce Graeme, Rupert Grayson, David Hume, Edgar Wallace, others (i.e.mainly thriller authors). |
