		Ellery Queen is both a fictional character and a pseudonym used by two American cousins, Frederick Dannay (1905—1972) and Manfred B. Lee (1905—1982), to write detective fiction.
		Ellery the character was himself a detective story writer, a snobbish, almost priggish intellectual who investigated and solved crimes solely because he found them stimulating.
		His mannerisms in the first nine or ten novels were apparently based on those of the extremely popular Philo Vance character of the same era and are today tiring, even irritating, to most modern readers—among other things he wore a pince-nez.

	Mysterylist.com: Series Detectives
		Margery Allingham was one of the most famous of the Golden Age of Detection writers, with her bland hero Albert Campion (pseudonym for somebody possibly in line for the throne).
		She was not very prolific in her detective vein (as compared with Agatha Christie) but must be given very high credits in establishing the 'classical' standards of Golden Age detection.
		Unless an amateur detective is caught in one of those isolated-house plots, or has some expertise or specialty that is useful to the police, there is very little justification for interjection into an official investigation, especially when it happens over and over again over a whole series of books.

	FATAL KISS - Reviews by Steve Lewis
		To my knowledge the point was never addressed, just another indication that in the world of detective fiction today, atmosphere and eye-catching characters can often carry the day, even if the puzzle of the plot is present but passed aside as if it doesn’t really matter.
		The year, lest I forget to mention it, is 1758, and Drury Lane (as the title aptly suggests) is the center of the mysterious misadventures taking place.
		A detective story this is not, in other words, which to some minds (mine) may leave the ending in something of an anti-climactic nature, but on occasion I am of a forgiving nature, and this is one of them.

	History of Crime Literature
		In England, nonfictional crime literature had its origins in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with the appearance of crime and underworld chapbooks and single-sheet "broadsides," in prose or doggerel verse, devoted to primitive accounts of murders, trials, executions, and confessions.
		Lillo's The London Merchant, which opened at the Theatre-Royal in Drury Lane in 1731, retold the murder case of George Barnwell, which was the subject of street ballads as early as the late sixteenth century.
		One of the detectives with whom he was particularly friendly was Inspector Charles Field, whose methodical performance of duty and encyclopedic knowledge of the underworld Dickens described in an account of an evening that he spent accompanying Field on his nocturnal rounds:
