Further Information
Dorothy Simpson, born 1933, has one main series character
Inspector Thanet, assisted by Sergeant Mike Lineham. All but the first
title are set in Kent, England and feature well rounded supporting
characters and are well plotted. The books attracted quite a bit of
interest from collectors initially, though, inexplicably, this seems to
have calmed down. The do represent something of an opportunity for
collectors as they are not only good books but still reasonably priced,
many having very attractive dust jackets. A full set of first editions
should not be too difficult to put together, there are no issue points
to worry about and, in all cases, the UK editions precede the American
editions, they UK books are also more desirable in terms of
collectability and value. |
