I agree -- I took a hiatus from reading Upfield a while ago because I didn't 
want to charge through all the Bony books and then have no more to read.
 
And I'm facing the same situation now with Ellis Peters' non-Brother Cadfael 
mysteries.  I have almost read all the Felse mysteries and pretty soon there 
won't be any more.  Ditto the non-Felse books.  Where do you go when you've 
run out of Ngaio Marsh and Josephine Tey 
*and* Ellis Peters' modern mysteries?  (Back to Peter Lovesey, I guess, 
but what do I do when I've run out of *his* books as well?)
