Kurzbeschreibung
A brand new collection of bite-sized mysteries celebrating the best of the genre with exclusives from Ian Rankin, Martina Cole, Val McDermid, Anne Perry and many more. British crime and mystery writing is popular all over the world. And how could it not be? After all these are the shores that saw the talents of Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and so many others flourish. From the Golden Age of classic mystery writing onwards, British talent has captured the imagination of readers in a unique way, and the modern era has been no exception. The art of the short story has always been one that mystery writers have excelled at, and here we are proud to present 25 examples of the bite-sized mystery from the very best authors in Great Britain today. The stories cater for every criminal taste--from the locked-room puzzle to the action-packed vignette--and several have been shortlisted or winners of prestigious awards. Tour the British Isles with this superb collection--you're bound to enjoy the journey!

Hit and Miss
25. Mai 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a compilation of short stories from experienced crime and mystery writers, as well as relative newcomers. Indeed, it is difficult not to be entertained by the distinctive styles in Ian Rankin's "Saint Nicked", or Simon Brett's "Exit, Pursued" (bound to be a hit with Shakespeare fans), both of which lead the reader on a meandering course of false trails before their sly endings. A notable new voice is Mat Coward, whose "Too Subtle for Me" both utilizes and mocks existing mystery standards.
On the other hand, there are many stories in the book that fall short of the complexity that is needed for a mystery/crime story; experienced mystery readers will be able to discover a large number of twists within the first paragraphs. As an example of British crime telling it is patchy, but there are spots of great fun.

More Horror than Mystery
10. Juli 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
I took this book out of the library because my mom loves mysteries. But she said none of the books were really murder mysteries, and upon reading about half of the stories I agree. They are more stories of revenge and death, with very little of the traditional mystery involved. I found I didn't much enjoy reading them and didn't finish the book.

Modern British Mystery & Crime Writing--not cozies
16. Juni 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This anthology serves as an excellent introduction to the current crime fiction scene in Britain. Excellent up and comers and a few bestsellers known over here as well are represented allowing a chance to get in on the ground floor of the next Rankin.
