Recenzii

With Cecily Gayford in charge, we are on safe ground
Praise for the Vintage Murder series
Has everything you might want ... take this little book to the beach [and] relax in the sun while reading of battered corpses
An excellent collection of short stories by ten top-class writers
Perfect for a quick fix of golden-age crime. This collection of short winter chills is well worth reading by candlelight before turning in on Christmas Eve
Short, clever and puzzling murder tales test the brains of the most avid crime reader ... delectable
Looking forward to Christmas? [The Vintage Murder series] is a fine way to start it. It's a cracker.
An impressive tome by some great names ... there isn't actually a bum note in the entire collection, not a single one you could skip through and not miss it - which is quite some feat. To paraphrase Nick Cook's famous Crimewatch sign off, just don't have nightmares after reading it.
