Leo Harris notes in the foreword for the 1992 Black Dagger reprint that this work is "really a floating Grand Hotel replete with interlocking dramas, romances, and comedies." Graeme (1900-1982) who wrote under several pseudonyms, including David Graeme, Roderic Hastings, Peter Bourne, and others wrote 13 Stevens & Allain mysteries beginning in 1931 with "A Murder of Some Importance."
