After all, she seems to have enjoyed some success with the six books in six years, then nothing, it seems, in the 17 years from then till her death in 1950.

I think that's why...I had the same experience! I think that's why DSP used the American title. It's a first mystery and I personally prefer the later ones. I quite liked the three Dr. Constantine mysteries but she stopped after just three. The Red Dwarf is one of her more available books as it was reprinted in 1948. The last two are very rare indeed, especially the last.The Passing Tramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830680639601570152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137677673775151256.post-35129316941315723552016-08-11T07:34:34.622-07:002016-08-11T07:34:34.622-07:00I mentioned this before but will do it all again. ...I mentioned this before but will do it all again. I had a copy of THE RED DWARF and bought it thinking it would have some kind of weird/macabre element. But the dwarf is not a person it turns out to be a fine point pen with a patented non-leaking cartridge. The pen was marketed as the Red Dwarf Ink Pencil in the US ages ago. I was very disappointed that the story had no Titian-haired little man committing evil deeds. Anyway, I didn't really like the book, never finished it, and sold my copy. Then I stumbled across ANOTHER copy of the book, again with a DJ, and decided I probably ought to read it all the way through. So I bought that 2nd copy. But guess what? Still unread.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
