Founding Members of the Detection Club

The Detection Club was formed in 1930 by a group of British mystery writers, many of whom are still well known today. How well do you know these authors from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction? Can you name the author from three or four of their most famous works?
Not all of the books listed for these authors are mysteries, as some of them have other works more famous than their detective fiction.
