Mertz misplaced?
Shouldn't the reference to something by Barbara Mertz be less prominent, presumably in the section on related works?

Birth name
On Oct 1st 2020, I deleted the bolding of her birth name in the lede, since it is an unlikely search-term, and distracts from the two names she used in professional life, both correctly set in bold. This was soon reverted with no reason given. I suggest reinstating. Valetude (talk) 02:25, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Death notice and John Gielgud
The article states that Tey's friend John Gielgud read about her death in The Times at a matinée during his run in The Winter's Tale. Tey's obituary in that publication appeared on 15 February 1952, whereas the play had closed by then. Anybody know where this came from, or should it be deleted as too much information?

Fictional Britain?
“These novels are set in the same fictional 20th-century Britain as the Inspector Grant novels.” In what way are her books set in a “fictional” Britain? Am I missing some thing? Otherwise I will change it to say they are set in 20th C Britain. Ivesiana (talk) 20:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
