Customer Reviews
Detection at its best.
Back to those old times before serial killers and foul language, and police were not always portrayed as corrupt.
I think it was called The Golden Age of Detection.
Well-written and interesting, this collection provides entertainment and mystery sadly lacking in the 21st century.
Ol-fashioned? Yes. But well-worth reading.
It is however a little disappointing to discover that one book of 300 pages actually appears twice, with different titles (The Eye of Osiris, and The Vanishing Man).
