The Library At 221 B Baker Street
British Library Crime Classics Series
Cover Reviews
I don't really have a one favorite cover with this collection I love them all
Continental Crimes
Martin Edwards
This really was not was I was looking for, I wanted something more specific and fortunately in this series I found it, just not this particular book. I would highly recommend this though
Resorting To Murder: Holiday Mysteries
Martin Edwards
Again not what I was looking for but an excellent collection if it suits your taste
Blood On The Tracks
Martin Edwards
The Affair Of The Corridor Express
Victor L. Whitechurch
I was had with this one. I thought I was better at detecting ones like this
The Case Of Oscar Brodski
R. Austin Freeman
I might not have added this one to this theme of train stories. Though it is a good solid story. This just may have gone better in another theme
The Eighth Lamp
Roy Vickers
This was more a bit more of ghost story than a crime mystery but still fun
The Knights Cross Signal Problem
Ernest Bramah
I always like to read other folks "Holmes & Watson" storiers. Some are hits others not. This one is passable and fun
Silent Nights: Christmas Mysteries
Martin Edwards
Again this was not quite what I was looking for, but if you need cozies for Christmas then this is a must to have
Crimson Snow
Martin Edwards
This was just exactly what I was looking for a nice little collection of Winter who dunits. Highly recommended.
The Ghosts Touch
Fergus Hume
I saw the ending of this one coming but I suspected the wrong person
The Chopham Affair
Edgar Wallace
Got a little lost with this one but it was still enjoyable
Serpents In Eden
Martin Edwards
The Black Doctor
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
This one has nothing to do with Holmes buts its still a very good tale, kept me guessing and a twist {even being schooled by Doyle himself} I never saw coming
Murder At The Manor
Martin Edwards
The Problem Of Dead Wood Hall
Dick Donovan
A good introduction to crime and a good story but a tad repetitive and too obvious
Capital Crimes London Mysteries
Martin Edwards
Case Of Lady Sannox
Arthur Conan Dolye
Excellent tale, thought I think I agree with those who say this would go better in a horror anthology rather than crime.
A Mystery Of The Underground
John Oxenham
Should have been in a different anthology, but still enjoyable till I got lost at the end
Deep Waters
Martin Edwards
