So you could start there. However, I would avoid Mavis Doriel Hay, if I were you.

It showed love and enthusiasm for the detective story, which is something that easily rubbed off on me.

But I have to sample one or two more, before passing final judgement on that aspect of his work.

I thought the writing style was much better in this later novel compared to Bude's earlier mysteries which the British Library reprinted a while back.
