In the s A. Fielding's early detective novels bear resemblance to those of Freeman Wills Crofts Assuming, as likely was intended by the author who created the pseudonym, that "A. Fielding" was a man, the then much-lauded and bestselling detective novelist S. Van Dine praised Fielding in his introduction to The Great Detective Stories as one of the finest exponents of the Crofts style of mystery writing.
However, the Fielding writing style soon changed, arguably reflecting the increasing eclipse of the "Humdrum" writers of the Crofts school by the livelier style of the Crime Queens Christie and Sayers later to be accompanied by Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh. Fielding's later detective novels resemble those of Agatha Christie notice the two pearl necklaces; see below While A.
Fielding's characters remain stock, the narrative focus shifts more to them and their emotions and they become livelier stock, while the milieu of the novels is that of the upper class types and environs so associated today with the English "manners" detective novel. Fielding also is a great exponent of the twist surprise ending associated so much with Christie. Unfortunately, Fielding sometimes attains these surprise endings at the expense of plausibility and even, as it was sometimes argued by contemporary reviewers, fair play. Raymond Chandler damningly dismissed Christie for obtaining her surprise endings by relying on violent reversals of character.
However fair this charge may or may not be with respect to Christie, I think there's some truth of it with regard to A. I am going to be reviewing a couple Fielding mysteries, one of her Crofts style books and one of Christie style ones, but in the meantime please indulge me while I trot out my own tongue-in-cheek theory as to just who "A.
Fielding" really was.

Sheffield Terrace is Kensington was developed in It is really quite a posh place, and it has an association with other successful English mystery writers. Chesterton was born at 32 Sheffield Terrace in And then there is the case of Agatha Christie, the Queen of Crime herself To its severe furnishings she added a Steinway grand piano at which she could indulge her love of music in privacy. What if Christie in her writer's sanctum was dashing off "A. Fielding" mysteries, hiding behind a new personality, Dorothy Feilding aka Mrs.
By Christie's own later standards, she was not very prolific in the s, producing only nine detective novels ahem!
Fielding, for her part, published nine as well in the s. Maybe Christie started a new pseudonym to write "Croftsian" detective novels. For that matter, part of A. Fielding's The Charteris Mystery , published in , is set in Bolzano. And in Christie, like Dorothy Feilding according to her author profile, was a middle-aged lady who liked gardening well, at least she liked gardens.
Okay, okay, I know what you're saying, lots of well-off English ladies must have stayed in hotels in Bolzano, Italy in the s. Fielding was in fact Agatha Christie, it at least does suggest to me that Dorothy Feilding was someone of Christie's social class and milieu, and it helps explain some of the feeling of Christie deja vu I get when reading Fielding mysteries from the s. I hope we find out more about this mysterious Mrs.
Fielding, who was, if not a Crime Queen, at least a criminal lady-in-waiting. Martin Edwards January 25, at PM. TomCat January 26, at AM. Lucy R.
