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
3.0
So-so collection of murder mystery stories. The title seems to be trying to get people who like "Midsomer Murders" type mysteries to pick it up.
Featuring some well known characters (Holmes, Father Brown, Wexford etc) as well as some one-shots from authors like Ellis Peters (not Cadfael, unfortunately).
Being a collection, there's a mix of good and not so good stories set in different locations and at different times.
There's nothing unexpected, making this a good holiday read and will possibly get picked up again when I need a quick time filler.
