4.0

There are a million and one other things that I should be doing instead of reading this collection of mystery stories, but . . . Most of the stories in here were quite good. Some I would say were not exactly mysteries but tales of suspense and tragedy (the Paris performer story, the Titanic story). And a couple of them were very troubling -- the one in Venice which was incestuous and the one in Japan about a child prostitute -- and some were rather enjoyable (Genghis Khan and the Irishwoman in Kansas). Certainly a wide variety of historical mileiu and some glimpses into worlds not often incorporated into mysteries.
