Vernon Loder was a pseudonym for John Haslette Vahey, an Anglo-Irish writer who also wrote as Henrietta Clandon, John Haslette, Anthony Lang, John Mowbray, Walter Proudfoot and George Varney.
Vahey started his working life as an apprentice architect, then an accountant before finally turning to writing fiction full-time.
An enjoyable read, Loder writes a good story that keeps the reader interested, though “he” is inclined to make a few of the tales a little long. This is the case in the “Shop window murders” but nevertheless was, in my opinion, the most enjoyable of the stories.
