Michael Innes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Innes was the pseudonym of an Oxford academic, J. I. M. Stewart (1906–1994), under which name he wrote about forty crime novels between 1936 and 1986. Innes's detective novels are playfully highbrow, rich in allusions to English literature and to Renaissance art. The somewhat ponderous writing style and analysis of character, particularly in the early novels, is frequently Henry Jamesian.

The best-known of Innes's detective creations is Sir John Appleby (originally Inspector John Appleby) of Scotland Yard.
