H R F Keating recommends
 Green for Danger (1944) (Inspector Cockrill) Christianna Brand "The last golden crown of the Golden Age detective story." |  The Long Escape (1950) (Al Colby) David Dodge "One of the exceptional suspense novelists of the 40s and 50s." |  The Stain on the Snow (1953) Georges Simenon "I doubt whether it is possible for the crime novel to rise to greater heights than it does in Simenon's hands here." | |
 Mad Hatter's Holiday (1973) (Sergeant Cribb, book 4) Peter Lovesey "His best yet." |  Ripley's Game (1974) (Ripley, book 3) Patricia Highsmith "The Ripley books are marvellously, insanely readable." |  The Devil in Disguise (1998) (Harry Devlin, book 6) Martin Edwards "How good to find a crime novel that doesn't rely on lurid violence to beat you into submission. Instead, here's solid storytelling everyday, Liverpool legal background and a nice scattering of perky jokes." | |
 The Reckoning (1999) Ted Allbeury "Allbeury's people are real in the sense that Greene's or Maugham's are." |  Hot Potato (2003) (Fizz and Buchanan, book 7) Joyce Holms "Every now and again we are lucky enough to be given a crime writer whose work has that cherishable mark of difference. Joyce Holms is one of that rare band." |
