I've included a Reeder story in a forthcomig BL anthology. A good character. I haven't read the two Oppenheims you mention, though.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-14065253334441418982015-02-17T17:27:10.578+00:002015-02-17T17:27:10.578+00:00Hi Moira, the BL have published another of EPO'...Hi Moira, the BL have published another of EPO's spy novels, The Spy Paramount, although I did prefer The Great Impersonatio.

At the moment I am reading every Edgar Wallace J.G. Reeder story I can get my hands on. Would love to know your opinion. I'm sure these tales reflect popular theatre of the day - melodrama didn't die in 1900!Lucy R.
