titles from felony & mayhem press

Unfortunately this site is under construction. But here's what's written in the front of The Accomplice:
The icon above says you're holding a copy of a book in the Felony & Mayhem "British" category. These books are set in and around the UK, and feature the highly literate, often witty prose that fans of British mystery demand. If you enjoy this book, you may well like other "British" titles from Felony & Mayhem Press, including:

The Killings at Badger's Drift
by Caroline Graham
Death of a Hollow Man by
Caroline Graham
Death on the High C's by Robert Barnard
Out of the Blackout by Robert Barnard
Death in the Garden by Elizabeth Ironside
Dupe by Liza Cody
King and Joker by Peter Dickinson
Death in the Morning by Sheila Radley
Among the other categories listed on the website is
"Vintage": Originally published prior to about 1965, these promise the kind of twisty, ingenious puzzles beloved by fans of Agatha Christie and the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. Example: The Case of the Gilded Fly, by Edmund Crispin
This sounds pretty juicy. But my library does not own a single title by this author. I've just asked them to purchase this one. We'll see what happens.

Customers on Amazon who bought this also bought books by Elizabeth Daly. This rings a bell.
