Reader, I Buried Them & Other Stories

De: Peter Lovesey

Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Peter Lovesey presents a collection of short fiction spanning 50 years, including the first story he ever published and three brand-new stories.

More than 50 years ago, Peter Lovesey published a short story in an anthology. That short story caught the eye of the great Ruth Rendell, whose praise ignited Lovesey’s lifelong passion for short form crime fiction.

On the occasion of his hundredth short story, Peter Lovesey has assembled this devilishly clever collection, 18 yarns of mystery, melancholy, and mischief, inhabiting such deadly settings as a theater, a monastery, and the book-publishing industry.

The collection includes that first story that launched his story-writing career as well as three exclusive new stories. In addition, Lovesey fans will delight in a personal essay by the author about the historical inspirations - and in an appearance by the irascible Bath Detective Peter Diamond, who has, in the author’s words, “bulldozed his way” into this volume.

Charming O.Henry like mysteries

As short stories should but may seem old-fashioned, these end as soon as we gather the solution to the crime. Tightly organized and often humorous, they are total entertainment. Even Diamond appears in one of them and the reader senses where his story fits into the Diamond series.
