	Geometry.Net - Celebrities Books: Brandis Jonathan
		Christianna Brand is one of the lesser-known lights of Golden Age detective fiction, which is a shame, because she has enough talent to be far better-known.
		Brand knew her stuff when it came to military hospitals, and the details really serve to ground the plot; she knows exactly how the wards would have been laid out, how much medicine the patients would have been given, who did what, who went where...
		Brand has a very similar style to Agatha Christie, she is a very accomplished writer in the genre in her own right and does not suffer in comparison with such elevated company.

		Christianna Brand, China Thomson, Mary Ann Ashe) is considered to be one of the last writers of the golden age of fiction.
		Set in a military hospital during the blitz, this novel is one of Brand's most intricately plotted detection puzzles, executed with her characteristic cleverness and gusto.
		Rosie, the naughty little nymphet around whom Christianna Brand weaves her witty and mysterious web, recounts to her family a series of fibs that results in their supposing the unfortunate suitor, Raoul Vernet, to be her base seducer.

		Christianna Brand (the psuedonym of Mary Christianna Milne Lewis, 1907-1988) was a supreme mistress of the classic detective story, with twists and turns, and all the clues fairly given to the reader.
		That Brand (1907-1988) was a rich stylist and puzzle-spinner in a class with Queen and Carr is shown in nine short stories (six from EQMM)...
		Christianna Brand wrote many books but is undoubtedly known for the masterpiece Green For Danger, featuring her most famous detective, Insp.

	Crime Time On-Line - book review - Green for Danger by Christianna Brand
		But when a patient dies under anaesthetic, and a nurse who claims to know what went wrong also dies, it's up to Brand's chain-smoking Inspector Cockril to discern which of the six remaining doctors and nurses is a single-minded murderer.
		H R F Keating called this the finest novel of the Golden Age detective story, and it's difficult to argue with that assessment.
		There isn't a misstep in the machine-precision plotting or concise and perceptive characterisation, and current crime fiction practitioners could do worse than rediscover how 256 pages are all that are required for something as gem-like as this.

		A great military hospital is a whole world apart, a world peopled not by stiff, white automata, but by human men and women each with their joys and their sorrows, their loves and their hates.
		Christianna Brand knows this world as well as she knows the people who dwell in it ; and against its bright, antiseptic background, its reek of ether, its undercurrent of pity and pain, she has cast her new story an exciting successor to Death in High Heels and Heads You Lose.
		'Those who spotted Christianna Brand as a bright and shining star when she wrote Heads You Lose,' writes an American reviewer, 'were correct and then some!

		Mystery Guide - Green for Danger by Christianna Brand
		There are occasional bits of period slang that have been forgotten and the descriptions of medical procedures now seem gruesomely archaic, but in general the story wears its age well.
		Christianna Brand was a better plotter than anyone with more psychological insight, and had more insight than anyone who was a better plotter; she is the mystery writers' mystery writer, and this is her masterpiece.

		The Collected Tales of Nurse Matilda, by Christianna Brand, Nurse Matilda and the sequels that took Nurse Matilda to Town and to Hospital—here tidily gathered into one volume—first appeared in England in the '60s and '70s.
		The children are so numerous that, in fact, we never learn all their names, and so naughty that they make Supernanny's television charges look angelic.
		What you don't anticipate is the magic, either Nurse Matilda's wizardry with the laws of physics or Brand's with words.

		Cecil's difficulties in distinguishing the three female characters is more a failing of the author than of his gallant reading.
		He is particularly effective with the men, ranging from haughty and arrogant, to the classic "harumph." His pacing is superb, and he takes full advantage of Brand's vocalizing cues, lending an almost multiple-reader effect at times.
		Brand writes a clasically constructed tale, with definite victims and murderer (and sleuth).

		Set in a shadowy museum of the outre, Serling weekly unveiled disturbing portraiture as preface to a highly diverse anthology of tales in the fantasy-horror vein.
		Bolstering Serling's thoughtful original dramas were adaptations of classic genre material--short stories by such luminaries as H. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, A.E. van Vogt, Algernon Blackwood, Conrad Aiken, Richard Matheson, August Derleth, and Christianna Brand.
		Variety of material brought with it a variety of tone, from the deadly serious to the tongue-in-cheek, stretching the television anthology concept to its very limits.
