Most of the authors wrote longer works, those are probably better for me. mysteries, crime-fiction, detective-fiction, short-stories, Scotland, anthology, British-crime-classics, Scottish-noir, historical-fiction***** I'm quite happy to let Mr Edwards hunt up new old stories for me to enjoy. He has excellent taste! Some are a bit longer, some more terse, some are authors I've never heard of, some are well known (perhaps under a pseudonym), all are very interesting and of earlier eras. Thanks for the snippets of authors and styles! I'm glad that author Martin Edwards assembled these unusual suspects together! I requested and received an EARC from Poisoned Pen Press via NetGalley. Thank you! This collection of stories is all about Scotland: either Scottish authors or settings. Other than that, the stories are very individual in tone, and some are excellent while others are forgettable and a few are just confusing. There's even a Sherlock Holmes story which is amusingly meta, though very slight and plotless. Stand-out stories include The Edinburgh Mystery by Baroness Orczy (of Scarlet Pimpernel fame), The Honour of Israel Gow by GK Chesterton, A Medical Crime, Footsteps, and The White Line. As a collection, it's fairly uneven, but fans of Golden Age detection will find things to interest them. Thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this advance review copy!

"From the Highlands to the borders, the bustling cities to the remote isles in cold seas, the unique landscapes and locales of Scotland have long inspired writers of the very best Golden Age mysteries. Beginning with the adventures of Sherlock Holmes from Edinburgh-born Arthur Conan Doyle, this new collection includes the ingenious scientific mysteries of Anthony Wynne, the dark and sardonic work of Margot Bennett and contributions from neglected yet brilliant authors such as Scobie Mackenzie and R. T. Campbell"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
