John Dickson Carr-ossword

All clues refer to books by John Dickson Carr, and anyone with a passing knowlegde of the titles will be more than adequately prepared to attempt this. No plot details are needed or revealed, though the odd piece of wider knowlegde of Carr and his works will help.

Clues either refer to John Dickon Carr or Carter Dickson titles -- no one clue on its own requires knowledge of both, if that makes any difference to you. Have fun!
