Currently I am reading Gilbert's Body on the Beam and that too has some fine gems on marriage and married life.<br /><br />neerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986509319841061021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-14403982215168719062013-01-26T13:58:15.454-08:002013-01-26T13:58:15.454-08:00Hi, Tracy, I'm glad neer mentioned my blog!
...Hi, Tracy, I'm glad neer mentioned my blog! <br /><br />One thing I like especially about Gilbert is her sense of period detail.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-73103144423612355122013-01-26T13:56:10.092-08:002013-01-26T13:56:10.092-08:00Prashant, in Gilbert's case, it was the fact t...Prashant, in Gilbert's case, it was the fact that people thought mysteries sold better when published under a man's name! Kind of funny, when you think how we are told today that women dominated the mystery fiction readership in the Golden Age (not true).<br /><br />See if you like this one, I did. Gilbert's not always so great from a puzzle standpoint, but I thought this had a nice one.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-21837170532433817452013-01-26T04:12:28.972-08:002013-01-26T04:12:28.972-08:00Thanks for a nice review of Gilbert's books, C...Thanks for a nice review of Gilbert's books, Curt. For one who spends most of his internet-time looking up forgotten writers, though not necessarily reading their books, Lucy Beatrice Malleson seems to have eluded me completely, especially given that she wrote 70 detective and crime novels (as mentioned in your post of January 22). I wonder what prompted the many women authors of the early to mid-20th century to write under pseudonyms. Christie, as we know, had one too — but why?Prashant C.

I enjoyed this post and the one on January 22nd. I have four Anthony Gilbert books (this one and A Case for Mr. Crook, Death in the Blackout, Death Takes a Redhead - all Arther G. Crook mysteries, I think). Especially since you mentioned the time period (around WWII), I will pick one of these to read soon.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.com
