	John Dickson Carr
		Carr eventually went to radio, around 1941, and the flood of short stories was replaced by a flood of radio plays, fairly brief works that served a similar function as his short stories.
		Carr is very good at imagining their ornate and ominous furniture, carpets, wall hangings and rare objets d'art, in a tradition that goes back to Poe.
		Carr particularly admired Connington's "sheer brain power", as he referred to it in "The Greatest Game in the World", and he also became a close friend and collaborator with John Rhode, creator of mathematician detective Dr. Priestly.

	The Ministry of Miracles
		John Dickson Carr, alias Carter Dickson, has a good claim to be considered the soundest practising craftsman of the essential detective story.”
		John Dickson Carr (alias Carter Dickson, alias Carr Dickson, alias Roger Fairbairn) was perhaps the greatest deviser of murderous plots, of titanic misdirection, of surprising villains, of impossible murders, of supernatural atmospheres, of frightening and fantastic characters, and of high comedy cheek-by-jowl with passages of spine-chilling terror.

	JOHN DICKSON CARR -- CARTER DICKSON
		John Dickson Carr (Carter Dickson) was the best of the "Golden-Age" detective story writers when it came to atmosphere and ingenious plotting.
		An expertise at which Carr excelled was conveying an atomosphere of the supernatural in his settings and the circumstances of his murders.
		Carr's literary agents tended to jumble up his short stories, with miscellaneous collections mixing Dr Fell, HM, Col. March (who, by the way, was played by Boris Karloff in a short TV series), and randoms.

	carr
		Carter Dickson was the pseudonym for the prolific mystery writer John Dickson Carr.
		John Dickson Carr explores the bawdy other side of Victorian propriety, with real-life detective Jonathan Wicher, private investigator and ex-inspector of Scotland Yard, in this historical mystery of the sort he does so well.
		For Christie, it was the least likely suspect; for Gardner, the switched weapon; for Queen, the dying man's message; and for John Dickson Carr, the locked room.

		John Dickson Carr's many excellent mysteries are hard to find these days, so any reissue is extremely welcome.
		One of Carr's strengths was always his ability to imply the supernatural in his baffling 'impossible crimes', and here he is at the peak of his powers.
		Although the solution may rely on a piece of slightly suspect pyschology, JDC addresses the question and, as he puts it in the extended review of the mechanics of the locked-room story included in the tale, one should never confuse the unlikely with the impossible...

		John Dickson Carr took a heavy-handed turn toward romance in "The Problem of the Green Capsule," which is why I almost immediately picked out the poisoner.
		As I tend to re-read Carr, this was not a problem and I recalled that it was one I'd particularly enjoyed.
		Carr not only presents the conventional mystery, with a number of suspects and -- initially -- no clue to the enraveling.

	JOHN DICKSON CARR ON FILM.
		Carr is credited as a co-screenwriter, with the movie itself based on the BBC radio series Appointment with Fear, for which Carr wrote many of the scripts.
		It’s a pity Carr was not filmed because an atmosphere of dread was so much a part of his work, and that would transfer to the screen.
		That John Dickson Carr’s grandson is actively involved in such a project is amazing news.
