John Dickson Carr
"He can create atmosphere with an adjective, alarm with an allusion, or delight with rollicking absurdity. In short, he can write."
Duplicate Death (1951)
(Inspector Hemingway, book 3)
Georgette Heyer
"Miss Heyer's characters and dialogue are an abiding delight to me... I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word 'Go'."
