Product Description

Review
"Imaginatively compiled and deftly edited by Maxim Jakubowksi, The Best British Mysteries is an impressive and rivetingly entertaining anthology of chilling mystery and suspense tales drawn from the very cream of British crime writers. An often dark, sometimes demented, but always enthralling compilation of delectably selected tales of mystery and suspense, The Best British Mysteries is a "must read" compendium for dedicated mystery story enthusiasts." -- Midwest Book Review

Product Description
A superlative collection of mystery stories, selected by one of Britain's foremost crime aficionados, features contributions by such established British masters such as Peter Robinson, Peter Lovesey, Robert Barnard, John Harvey, and Anne Perry, as well as works by up-and-coming young writers. Reprint.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy!, 15 Sep 2004
By A Customer
If you think this book will be full of exciting mysteries then you will be sadly mistaken like I was. Very disappointing to read as the majority of the stories are not mysteries. Buy if you want some mediocre short stories.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good short stories, 16 Aug 2006
By Terry Smith (Burntwood England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Best British Mysteries (Hardcover)
As another reviewer has commented, the use of the word Mystery in the title is a misleading. But, what you have here is a collection of short stories from British writers, some well known and others not so. And, as a collection of short stories it's well worth three stars. Depending on your taste some stories will be good, others less so, but the benefit of a collection such as this is, if you don't like a particular story, you leave it and move onto the next. For fans of John Harveys Frank Elder trilogy - this collection includes "Going North", Elders first outing and well worth the admission price alone.
