5. Gosh, "Grey Mask"

is from 1928. I'm surprised you found that one. That dear lady went on to write around 60 more before she left us in 1961. Her "ALTER EGO, MISS MAUD SILVER, IS THE CLEVER CRIME-SOLVER OF DIABOLICAL CASES OF DECEIT, MURDER, AND MISTAKEN IDENTITY... A CAREFUL INVESTIGATOR WHO SEES DEEP INTO THE DARK SIDE OF THE HUMAN HEART." Sounds delightful.

Ms. Neel is more recent and her latest, published in 2005, Ticket to Ride, sounds quite good. "A remarkably prescient mystery, flagging up the exploitation of illegal immigrants tempted by the offer of work in agriculture in East Anglia and begins with the discovery of eight bodies in shallow graves on a beach near King's Lynn."
