The problem, for the longest time, was a lack of reprints, which seems to have (somewhat) changed recently. But he still has to catch on with readers again. <br /><br />Well, you have to remember that Symons was also the man who labeled Gladys Mitchell as "humdrum." So Upfield was probably wasted on him. <br /><br />TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-17723602401086942212016-06-18T18:40:14.215+02:002016-06-18T18:40:14.215+02:00Thanks for the review.

I don't think I have ever seen a bad review of Upfield's books, except of course from Symons, but I don't think anyone pays any attention to him any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
