 Golden Age Mysteries - Poll: Anthony Berkeley
I voted for Anthony Berkeley, haven't actually read anything by him,but "Malice Aforethought" written under his pseudonym, is a brilliant book.
What struck me about the talent of Cox was that these two novels, apparently written within a year or so of each other, are completely different in style; they could have been written by separate authors for all the similarity I could find.
My comment upon Berkeley was based on only Chocolates and several short stories, as I made clear, but within my limited experience I think he's a clumsy prose stylist ("The Avenging Chance" being the exception, as a well-paced story with witty dialogue).

 The anatomy of murder by Theodore Dalrymple   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I take as my texts almost at random two crime novels, the first published in 1931, Malice Aforethought, by Francis Iles (the pseudonym of Anthony Berkeley Cox), and the second published in 1990, Hide and Seek, by Ian Rankin.
est anyone should think that not to adopt the excremental philosophy is a manifestation of a lack of acquaintance with the horror of life, I should point out that Anthony Berkeley Cox was gassed in the trenches during the Great War and never recovered his health.
Ian Rankin was born in 1960, and it is therefore unlikely that he could ever have experienced anything remotely comparable in horror to being gassed in the trenches, certainly nothing that he did not seek out for himself.
