	MYSTERY! Malice Aforethought Author Francis Iles
		"Francis Iles" was just one of the pseudonyms used by Anthony Berkeley Cox, a journalist and reviewer who contributed to Punch, The Humorist, the London Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times and the Guardian during the years between 1938 and 1970.
		Published in 1931 under the pseudonym "Francis Iles," Malice broke the crime fiction mold.
		It was different in that the perpetrator of the crime was clear from the very beginning of the story, but it worked as a gripping and suspenseful tale nonetheless.

	Crime Time On-Line - book review - Malice Aforethought by Francis Iles
		But Iles, consummate plot-creator that he is, has nevertheless a writer's tone of voice that can only be present in the novel.
		The beleaguered Bickleigh (and his mounting passion for Gwynfryd Rattery) is rightly recognised as one of the best-remembered protagonists of crime fiction, and there are few who will regret reacquainting themselves with this beautifully-crafted piece.
		The rediscovery of this well-loved jewel in the crown of crime novels began with a sympathetic TV adaptation some years ago.

	Suspicion (movie)
		As far as the literary basis of the film is concerned, Iles's novel is experimental in that it is not a whodunit: It does not take long to determine the identity of the villain and his motives.
		According to Colin Dexter, Before the Fact is a "crime novel" rather than a "detective novel", Iles being "the father of the psychological suspense novel as we know it today".
		It is true that the police do not play any role in the book; none of the characters is ever charged with a crime, let alone indicted or convicted of one.

		Francis Iles kleidet die Schilderung einer auf dem Masochismus der Frau aufgebauten Beziehung in eine ungewöhnliche Kriminalhandlung.
		Francis Iles zeichnet sie elegant, lakonisch und präzise nach und führt sie zu einem Ende, das der Hitchcock-Verfilmung einiges an Konsequenz voraus hat.

	Golden Age Mysteries - Poll: Anthony Berkeley
		His insight into women is so acute—at least it seemed “acute” to me, a guy—that I suspected “Francis” Iles was a female.
		If you think his prose style is "insipid" and his characterization "nebulous", I suggest you to read not only the Iles but also Not To Be Taken and Jumping Jenny that are anything but "insipid" and "nebulous" in characterization - the former being particularly rich in that respect.
		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.

	Bibliography of Anthony Berkeley Cox
		This is a bibliography-in-progress in which I hope to list all known publications by Anthony Berkeley Cox (1893-1971) under his various names (A.B. Cox, Anthony Berkeley, Francis Iles, and A. Monmouth Platts).
		Note: The microfiche edition of the BBC Play Library catalogue also lists a script of Trial and Error “adapted by Francis Iles” and broadcast 12 December 1957, but this has been missing since at least 1987, so it cannot be determined whether this differed substantially from the 1959 version.
		Iles also participated in the radio programme “Stump the Story Teller,” 6 May 1948, but since this involved improvisation, the script does not indicate what he said.

	Golden Age Mysteries - Poll: Anthony Berkeley
		It's listed as Berkeley, but a lot of people have said it should have been published as by Iles.
		I've read all of Berkeley's novels (except for THE VANE MYSTERY and the last two Iles), and I've been very impressed by his prose style - in its wit and savagery it's often rather like Waugh, particularly JUMPING JENNY (probably only accidentally obscene) and TRIAL AND ERROR.
		As it happens, Berkeley himself, in a 1947 radio interview about his Iles and Berkeley personans (personae?), explained why he signed it as Berkeley:

		Symons continues by describing both Malice Aforethought and the second book which Berkeley (A.B. Cox) wrote under the Iles name.
		Yet it is plain that in The Second Shot Berkeley is describing the changing nature of the crime writer's concerns at that time, rather than making a forecast.

	:: Suspicion 1941
		Based on a novel by Francis Iles, Hitchcock's second film starring Fontaine is more about love and the fear of losing it than suspense, but still has enough of his little touches to make it enjoyable as both.
