The Pen (Name) is Mightier than the Sword

Publishers Weekly recently had a quiz about author pseudonyms, which got me thinking about crime fiction authors. So, in that same vein and spirit, I've assembled a little mystery quiz with the real author names that you can try and match with their alter-ego pseudonyms (noting that sometimes authors switch genders with their new identities). The author's real name is on the left. Can you match it with their pen name on the right? (The answers are below…)

 

(1) Harriet Stratemeyer Adams	(a) Carolyn Keene
(2) Dennis Lynds	(b) Rosamund Smith
(3) Elizabeth Linington	(c) Tucker Coe
(4) Frederic Dannay, M.B. Lee	(d) Anthony Gilbert
(5) Lawrence Block	(e) Dell Shannon
(6) Michael Crichton	(f) William Jeffries
(7) Jeffery Deaver	(g) Michael Collins
(8) H.R.F. Keating	(h) Barbara Vine
(9) Salvatore Lombino	(i) Alisa Craig
(10) Charlotte McLeod	(j) Elizabeth Peters
(11) Ralph McInerny	(k) John le Carré
(12) Barbara Mertz	(l) John Lange
(13) Joyce Carol Oates	(m) Mary Westmacott
(14) Edith Pargenter	(n) Evelyn Hervey
(15) Ruth Rendell	(o) Monica Quill
