Tony Medawar, who will be speaking on the life and works of Christianna Brand, has suggested the following of her books as preparatory reading for his session at the conference:
Green for Danger
Cat and Mouse
The Spotted Cat and Other Mysteries from Inspector Cockrill’s Casebook
The Bodies From The Library 
Is there any way of getting affordable copies of these? I read the first one yonks ago but not the most recent ones…

Sadly, the going rate for the rarer detective fiction seems to be gravity defying. I found Cat and Mouse for £11 on Amazon and Spotted Cat for £24 plus £17 p&p on Abebooks. There must be scope for new editions at profit-making prices for the publishers but less eye-watering for us as readers.

It’s a shame that these are the recommended titles – could the speakers perhaps focus on the more findable titles? Most of the rest are more attainable. This has been a problem before – Mist On The Salting (before it appeared on ebooks) and Burton’s Death Of Two Brothers spring to mind
