CHRISTIANNA BRAND/CHINA THOMPSON/MARY ANN ASHE:

This is Brand's output in the mystery genre, with year of publication, alternate titles (if any), Swedish titles, and the detective of the story. Then follow Brand's short stories (nos. 18-27), all of them uncollected as far as I know. Book no. 28 was published under the pseudonym China Thompson. At the very end of the list (nos. 31-32) are the novels that were published under the name Mary Ann Ashe.
