A little dated now, but still an interesting read.

If you enjoy classic, older British mysteries, this book is invaluable. It lists each author, their leading character(s) if there are any and all the books they wrote, usually in chronological order, too. This is an older book so many of the books published after 1988-89 are not listed. I do wish someone would do an update! One very useful aid was it listed the different titles under which the same book might be published. Often the titles are changed when printed in the US versus their British title. I will not trade this book but if you can find a copy, I highly recommend it to those lovers of older British mysteries! Wonderful reference book!
