Harlequin Mysteries - Raven House Part II

In my first post about Harlequin imprint Raven House I listed the 74 books in the series. Here is more about this now obscure series.

The publisher is Worldwide Library. Harlequin is never mentioned but Worldwide's address is Harlequin's head office in Toronto (still there in 2023). Obviously Harlequin wanted to protect their romance brand and not confuse their intended mystery reader audience.

I said there are 43 authors with Raven House books. But four are pseudonyms for an author whose name is Lana Hutton Bowen-Judd (1922-1985). The Sara Woods books were previously published. The other ten were first published as Raven House Mysteries.Here are her 13 Raven House books.
