Miraculous Mysteries: Locked-Room Murders and Impossible Crimes by Martin Edwards

3.0

A collection of short stories, many of the locked room variety, some of the just plain odd. Grouped in roughly date order (publication date), they go from Arthur Conan Doyle (not a Sherlock, however) to Margery Allingham, with a fair number of previously unknown to me authors (all male). Dorothy L. Sayers and Allingham are the only solo female contributors; Margaret Cole has a story she wrote with her husband included. The early stories are frankly incredible, and some are just bad - they pick up with the R. Austin Freeman story, and become plausible after that.
