“She had no taste for the psychological, and nothing but scorn for the erotic. What she loved was a story which began with crime and ended with a detection - a story which kept you wondering who did it, how it was done, and when the doing was going to be laid bare to the light of day. ~ The Middle of Things ”
Joseph Smith Fletcher

“contrary," answered Bryce, "the hand”
J.S. Fletcher, The Paradise Mystery
