"Unholy Dying" is the December selection in the Mysteries-Book-a-Month 2020 package from Bas Bleu which sadly brings this year's selections to an end. I have purchased the package to ship monthly over the last few years and since the beginning I have been in awe of the variety of selections. I don't think I would have discovered the majority of authors independently and I have welcomed the exposure as it has broadened my reading experiences in this category that I've loved since reading "Nancy Drew Mysteries" in the 4th grade.

I'm also grateful to the "Foreword" by Peter Main that helped me to learn the significance of R.T. Campbell's writing in the history of the mystery genre. Professor John Stubbs is an interesting man and by profession a botanist or as his nephew shares is more correctly termed a plant-physiologist. The professor is an even more intriguing amateur sleuth determined to "prove" his detective skills as he's a dedicated reader of detective stories.

Kudos to Dover Publications for bringing this (c)1945 gem back in print giving an opportunity for new readers to discover and enjoy the absorbing experience. ( )
