Short British mystery stories. I wouldn't have felt cheated at 3-4 fewer stories, and it's not a long book, it's just the sweepings of good authors piled up a bit too obviously. (

This was a happy and serendipitous find. I think I have been turning my nose up at anthologies of mystery stories for vague and it turns out invalid reasons. I loved this book and will read more like it. These abbreviated mysteries do exactly what their lengthier cohorts do with the added benefit of shorter periods of torment by suspense. I was surprised to come to the realization that suspense is actually a form of torment and I can now understand why some might shun it.
