Good collection

As with mot collections, the quality differs. I already had a few in collections of the respective authors. Several were outstanding. Several were good. Several were average. None were bad. The narration was uniformly very good.

Not All Mysteries

What was disappointing about this book is that it is not all strictly mystery stories.

False title

These are not the greatest mysteries of all time. Some do not rate as 'good' or 'fair'.
