3.0

This was fun, but mostly for the novelty value - it's basically a writing exercise/game the authors played, and it only barely hangs together. However, it's certainly worth reading if you're a fan of this period of detective novels, which I am. It's very uneven (Dorothy L.Sayers and G.K. Chesterton wrote the most coherent chapters, I thought, and Chesterton wrote his prologue after everything else had been written, so he knew the entire plot) and one of the authors spent most of his chapter pointing out the failings of the previous chapters, which was annoying, but overall it was fun.
