Sweet Danger

UK precedes US and the census claim is confirmed, but the published month needs correcting against a common error. Heinemann, London, March 1933 is the true first: the Margery Allingham Society gives March 1933, and this is settled independently by a contemporary review of "Sweet Danger. By Margery Allingham. (Heinemann)" in The Spectator of 31 March 1933 — a book reviewed in March cannot have been published in October. Wikipedia's "first published in October 1933" is therefore wrong and should not be relied on. The first American edition is Doubleday, Doran / The Crime Club, Garden City, N.Y., 1933, retitled Kingdom of Death, and is collected in its own right — name both. "The Fear Sign" is a later US retitle of the same novel, a first-thus trap, not a first edition; a buyer chasing "Sweet Danger" in America must know to look under Kingdom of Death.
