The Birmingham Daily Post's critic (who may or may not have been the same writer as the previous year - the credit only goes to 'a correspondent') wrote that this outing for our amiable private detective was 'such a mixture of mystery that I now feel like a schizophrenic customer in a dreamy Billingsgate full of red herrings.' The critic concluded 'Bewildering, yes, but more agreeably so than the Philip Marlowe episode which followed.' Clearly a fan - was 'a correspondent.' Took, Barry; Coward, Mat (2000).

At other times, Horne's character would pretend not to understand the more risqué meanings in Julian and Sandy's dialogue, although it was always hinted that he was secretly in on the joke. A good example was Horne attempting to use Polari himself: a b c Beverley D'Silva (10 December 2000). "Mind your language". The Observer . Retrieved 9 May 2018.Hall, Duncan (14 November 2008).

In March 1948 Horne appeared with Murdoch in six episodes of the BBC Television comedy series Kaleidoscope. [51] In June that year he and Murdoch again appeared on television in a one-off sitcom, At Home, which they wrote. [52] The following year Horne began his connection with Twenty Questions, an association that lasted, on-and-off, for 20 years. [53] By the fourth series of Much-Binding in 1950, the listener figures had declined to a level that concerned the BBC and they decided against a fifth series. Rather than wait to see what other offers of work would come in from the Corporation, Horne and Murdoch signed the comedy to a 35-programme series on Radio Luxembourg between October 1950 and June 1951. [54] The programme was poorly received on the commercial channel: Murdoch observed that "it wasn't really a great success—even my mother said it was rotten, and she was my greatest fan". [55] After one series, the show returned to the BBC in 1951–52, although renamed as Over to You. [e] Murdoch and Horne again appeared together, in April 1952, on Desert Island Discs. [57] [f]

The novels and stories in which they appear are, according to fans, among the most distinguished in the genre. To those who take the opposing position to her work, it is regarded to be of a second-rate, akin- it has been unfairly suggested, to that of twentieth-century B-grade detective fiction writers.
