Anthony Gilbert is an uneven writer. Her best works are full of vitality, excellent characterization, clever plots, and subtle clueing in the style of John Dickson Carr or Agatha Christie. They’re also very funny. Some of her books, though, are more suspense stories, or the villain is known from the start.
Arthur Crook is a vulgar London lawyer. Instead of dispassionately analyzing a case, he usually enters it after seemingly damning evidence has built up against his client, then conducts a no-holds-barred investigation of doubtful ethicality to clear him or her.
