This isn’t a modern author, but the ‘Golden Age’ description reminded me of Gladys Mitchell (21 April 1901 – 27 July 1983) and her ‘Mrs Bradley’ series. She was a member of the Detection Club with Agatha Christie and company, and quite popular in her day.

It’s been many decades since I read the books, but I don’t remember them as being either too graphic or too cozy. The books were seen as somewhat unconventional at the time, but not by today’s standards.

I didn’t think Mitchell’s writing was on par with the more famous golden age writers. Sometimes it felt a bit convoluted. But I did enjoy reading about that era, and found the puzzles entertaining.
