George Bellairs
"Harold Blundell, a Manchester banker with close connections with the University
of Manchester, was a Manx philanthropist who, in the mid-20th century, wrote over 40
detective stories under the pseudonym `George Bellairs'" (see Blundell site here). British author of many
detective novels, some set on the Isle of Man, featuring Inspector (later Superintendent)
Littlejohn. Standard themes but reasonably well-written. Many books appear from their
titles to have an ecclesiastical theme.
