Yes, Basil is quite a good (the other posthumous story that Fred published, 'The Uttermost Farthing,' is very similar and not half bad) but I find that some of Arthur's earlier published stuff is indeed quite effective, and I would serve up "Out of the Sea", "The Closed Window", "The Slype House", and "The Red Camp" as examples. No, one would not claim he was the equal of Fred or Monty, but he was better than a single story. Thanks for this post, and the review.
