I'd forgotten him till these posts turned up... "Snobbery with violence", I see
Alan Bennett said. Jolly good chaps and all that. Ugh.
But Alan Rickman's done an audiobook of one, that must be amazing, I'm tempted.

An awful warning of the fleetingness of literary fame and fortune. Ruth brought
home a couple of aged murder mysteries from our club library. I am looking at
the blurb on the back cover of one of them. There I see the portentous words

With a name like that, how could an author be forgotten?
