Miraculous Mysteries: Locked-Room Murders and Impossible Crimes by Martin Edwards
E-Galley provided through the generosity of Penguin Press and Netgalley for my honest review. This title is part of The British Library Crime Classics and is available for purchase as of June 6, 2017.
Miraculous Mysteries is a compilation that’s like a bag of potato chips. Once you open its pages, you will not be able to stop at just one.
Many including me love locked room mysteries. The quest to figure out how a crime is committed in a space with no way for the perpetrator to exit is delicious to say the least. The solving of these mysterious mysteries is good for this aging brain and good fun too.
Thank heavens for GR friends, in this case Sue Drees who gave the wonderful authors of this collection their due. Some old friends and some new acquaintances for me. Most familiar to me were Dorothy L. Sayers, G.K Chesterton, Margery Allingham, and Arthur Conan Doyle, but don't expect a Sherlock story. Nicholas Olde, Sax Rohmer, and Austin Freeman are a few that I will need to research.
Love the old-fashioned look of The British Library Crime Classics covers, the hues and tones and the content is top-notch too. Miraculous Mysteries: Locked Room Mysteries and Impossible Crimes is a book I need to own. It’s a solid collection and a must for fans of this genre, edited by Martin Edwards.
