A review by greybeard49
Murder in Midsummer: Classic Mysteries for the Holidays by Cecily Gayford, Julian Symons, Dorothy L. Sayers, John Dickson Carr, G.K. Chesterton, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ellis Peters, Margery Allingham, Michael Innes, Ruth Rendell

2.0

I found this to be a bit of a roller coaster ride. Some stories and authors were very good, others mediocre and a couple verged on the diabolical. Whoever compiled the anthology obviously struggled to find short crime stories to sit under the ‘Midsummer’ umbrella as several were not even tenuous in their content.
Overall a little like a normal British midsummer - patchy sunshine with some rain and one or two dreadful thunderstorms.
