"This volume explores the works of three prominent British "Humdrums" revealing their work to be more complex, as puzzles and as social documents, than Symons allowed. By championing the merit of these mystery writers, the study demonstrates that reintegrating the "Humdrums" into mystery genre studies provides a understanding of the Golden Age of detective fiction and its aftermath"--Provided by publisher.
