    One of three book set
  

*by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024*

Was a gift for my husband.  He liked the mystery short stories.  All stories based on "book" environments which is unique.  Came new as ordered.  Would buy from seller again.

I liked the wide variety of authors from the early 1900s.  Great short stories for fun reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Groundbreaking short stories of mystery from the early days of detective fiction
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021*

I wish to thank NetGalley, WW. Norton and special thanks to Otto Penzler for compiling this great anthology of detective stories. This was a nostalgic journey into the past. I was familiar with most of the authors and I read and enjoyed their puzzles decades ago. There are biographies for each author added before their short story with mention of their major works and any resulting movie adaptations. These stories make us realize how much detective work and the world has changed since these crime stories were written. There was no DNA evidence available, no computers with databases on crimes and criminals. The lack of cell phones had the detectives scrambling and looking for payphones, and waiting for crime photos to be developed. There were no surveillance cameras to capture the criminal acts. These crimes were solved through the detective's intuitive reasoning, intelligence, finding clues, and interviewing suspects and witnesses. Women seemed to be readily accepted in their role of investigators, at least in these stories. In the time before TV, living rooms were centered around a huge radio where the family listened to popular detective programs. I was delighted to find a short story that included sleuths, Mr. and Mrs. North. My baby sister was actually named Pamela after Pamela North from the weekly radio show.  Many of my favourite authors of the era have been included in this anthology: among them, Erle Stanley Gardner, Ellery Queen, Mignon Eberhart, Charlotte Armstrong, and Patrick Quentin.  There was a short story by John Dickson Carr listed, but unfortunately, it was missing from my ebook version. Also, it was necessary to read the stories in the order they were presented. With no index, it was impossible to skip around and read the stories out of order. This would not be a problem in the printed book. I hope this great collection from the Golden Age of mystery writing will inspire readers to seek out some past works by these groundbreaking authors of detective and crime fiction.
