a list of all the crime writers you are documenting?

Okay, Michael Gilbert, William Haggard, and who else now? Having seldom read crime fiction, I'm new to them all and it would be fun to see a more complete list of the authors whose opus you've been cataloging. Pat Palmer (talk) 01:50, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Here's what I wrote on my home page YEARS ago, and I really haven't updated it much. Except for extensive articles about Richard Condon and his novels, many of which certainly fall into the thriller mode (The Manchurian Candidate) or crime (Prizzi's Family and the three other Prizzi books). Also maybe some stuff about Victor Canning -- as you may have noted, Gilbert, Haggard, and Canning are all Brits, as is Michael Innes, whom I always MEANT to do articles about but have never had the energy. So many great Brits, so little time.... I also meant to do the mystery writers Rex Stout, Ellery Queen, Raymond Chandler, and John Dickson Carr, but never got around to it....
