A collection of short stories all written around the time of the Golden Age of detective fiction. Each story is give a short introduction by Martin Edwards (a prolific and award-winning author of crime himself). His introductions provide interesting background biographical information on each author, together with an indication of when the short story was first published.
As with any anthology, some stories were better than others , and they varied quite a bit in length. However, given that there were 16 stories in total, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn’t find any of them terrible.
