Arthur J. Rees’s standalone novels range from pure mysteries to works that blend detection with regional writing. The Moon Rock (1922) is his best-known non-series work, a mystery set against the dramatic Cornish coastline.
His other standalones include Old Sussex and Her Diarists (1929), which departs from fiction entirely to explore the history and personalities of the Sussex region through historical diaries and accounts. The remaining titles stay closer to the mystery genre, with novels like Peak House (1933) and The Cup of Silence (1940) offering self-contained stories of crime and investigation.
