Stella Gibbons
She sat in a corner warm with sunlight, a copy of Home Notes open unread upon her knee, and watched the green meadows flying past while the business men in the carriage talked about news in the papers— awful, as usual— their golf, their gardeners, and the detective stories they were reading.
Stella Gibbons, Nightingale Wood

Philip Guedalla
The detective story is the normal recreation of noble minds.
Philip Guedalla, The Omnibus of Crime
