Requery of a Full requested several years ago and rejected with a letter noting the positives and the areas that were not good enough. A rejection like that is very helpful, though I do not know if he accepts requeries of rejected material.

Queried October 2019, immediate full request.
Rejection June 2020. A very kind email that was very complementary. I do wonder if the letter was a copy-paste, nonetheless I wouldn't hesitate to query Richard again.

Request for a full on 1/13/20. "I'm interested in this; alas, reading submissions has taken a backseat to editing current clients the last month or two. Please do send along, though (as an attachment). I'll give it priority over the rest of my to-read pile."
Rejection 1/14. "Ultimately I wasn't confident that I could help guide Generations of Sin to success in the crowded crime fiction market... Best wishes. I won't at all be surprised to see it on shelves in a year or two's time."
