I was deeply disappointed with Death on Tiptoe - the detective was unbelievably dull. I really struggled to finish it, the investigation was so plodding.

I found it easy enough to read but of course it's not a patch on greats like Margery Allingham.

That's the cover and copy I have too, and I so love it. I think it is great they didn't change it. I hope it brings this wonderful writer to a whole new readership (I love that word - I picture deck chairs full of people reading). I just got Olivia in India from Book Depository. Eventually, I'd like to own all her books.

I managed to get them all in the same edition and with dustwrappers and I didn't pay much. I'm not so keen on Olivia in India or Ann and her Mother as the others. Checking my tag bar on the left I see I've writen quite a lot about O Douglas in the past.
Love your definition of 'readership', it's planted an image in my mind, now!
