OUTSTANDING. Great information about books I would have no introduction to otherwise. Problem here, I WANT this book, yet you say it will hard to find. Nothing better than these great mysteries that The Passing Tramp features. Continued praise for all the hard work this blog requires.

I've read at least one by Bush - perhaps the Tudor Queen mentioned above, but I love me a fancy dress ball (they make for the best blog entries for me....) so I'll be looking out for this one. I remember liking a certain brittle 30s atmosphere about his books: weekend cottages in the country, having a place on the river, theatrical riffraff mixing with the nobs.
