Mystery And Thriller Writers Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-30 · 5 entries checked · 3 flagged · 6 issues confirmed · 3 corrected · 3 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Arthur Hailey — The entry states Hailey had a younger brother named John, but established biographies indicate he had no younger brother named John; he had a sister named Elsie and a brother named John was not a sibling.

Arthur Hailey — The entry says Hailey served as a flight cadet and pilot instructor and was still training when WWII ended, but historical records show he served actively as an instructor until 1945, not 'still training'.

Boris Akunin — The Noma Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature was awarded in 2005, not 2006, for his translation of Yukio Mishima's works.

Boris Akunin — The novel The Winter Queen was shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger in 2004, not 2003.

Bram Stoker — Stoker did not write for the Daily Mail as a theatre critic; he wrote for the Daily Telegraph and other publications, but there is no established record of him writing for the Daily Mail.

Bram Stoker — The Dublin Sketching Club was founded in 1874, but Stoker's membership is not a widely established fact in his biography; it is not typically cited in authoritative sources.
