As usual when I compile such a list, it turns out to be considerably longer than I had expected. It is my privilige to live at a time when, sitting at home, I am able to address a world-wide audience about all these authors.

Kaor, Paul!
I recently mentioned some writers not on this list: Margery Allingham, John Dickson Carr, GK Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, Rex Stout, and Robert van Gulik, as part of the discussion of the mystery genre. I'm pretty sure you have read some of Chesterton's works, but I don't know if you read any of the others books. I'm rather fond of Carr's COMIC mysteries!
I've tried to find your new email address, but failed. I'm probably looking in all the wrong places. Could you send me an email to "Seanmbrook@aol.com"?
