For some reason she never became as famous as other crime writers – except to discerning aficionados. This may have been because she did not have a hero detective to capture the imagination, to inspire a large loyal following & a television series.
Nor did she indulge in spectacular serial killer plots. Instead her stories had an ordinary quality, which made them all the more believable - & scary sometimes. That could happen to me!
But she was prolific, so there were plenty of treats for her fans.
