4.0
This was an excellently curated collection of short stories! As much as I’m a fan of Golden Age detective stories (and what a theme!), I admit I enjoyed the author information just as much. The context and background of some of the authors set the stage for the tales, ranging from ludicrous to quite believable, in my opinion.
My favorites were A Lesson in Crime, Trent and the Ministering Angel, The Clue in the Book, The Manuscript, and Dear Mr. Editor. All of them were well worth the read, and I’m excited to check out more of these collections!
