Reviews of the Series: "The McFarland Companion series...has been consistently excellent, both in its choice of subjects and its quality of scholarship and writing"--Mystery Scene; "E.X. Ferrars: A Companion to the Mystery Fiction is a very full and fair, much needed survey of the more than one hundred fine pieces of crime fiction produced in a writing career that ran from 1932 to 1995. A well thought-out account of all you would want to know about this finely entertaining crime novelist."--Diamond Dagger recipient H.R.F. Keating, creator of Inspector Ghote.
