Ten years since it was first published in hardback, and now for the first time as an eBook, this volume of short stories by the cream of British crime writing talent celebrates 75 years of the quintessential Detection Club. The Detection Club represents the cream of British crime writing talent. Founded on the cusp of the 1930s, the Club's first President was G.K. Chesterton, and since then the mantle of Presidency has passed to some of the most significant names in the history of crime fiction, including Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and Julian Symons. The Club meets three times a year - to dine, to plot, and to exchange ideas. This anthology includes eleven new stories by the Best of British: Robert Barnard, Lyndsey Davis, Colin Dexter, Clare Francis, Robert Goddard, John Harvey, Reginald Hill, P.D. James, H.R.F. Keating, Michael Ridpath and Margaret Yorke, and has been edited by the Club's President, Simon Brett. Among the authors are a number of bestsellers, as well as winners of both Diamond and Gold Daggers. This outstanding collection is a must for crime lovers everywhere.… (altro)

some stories were hard to understand or follow. ( )

A nice collection of crime stories. Of course I liked some more than others. Overall I'd guess about half were really good and the others ok. ( )

A mixed bag of short stories from member of the Detection Club. Given some of the class crime authors involved, I expected this to be much better than it was; there are one or two good stories but most fall a little flat, starting off well but rounding off with a weak ending, as of the author ran out of his allotted word-count - Lindsey Davis’ Going Anywhere Nice? and Clare Francis’ The Holiday seeming to fit this bill.. Best by far in my opinion, is Reginald Hill’s contribution, a rare outing for Dalziel without Pascoe. ( )

All short story collections are uneven, and this is no exception. The members of the old British Detection Club each contributed a story to the book. It’s fun to read selections from the older detective authors. And for any fan of Golden Age mysteries, this will be both entertaining and instructive. ( )

My take

Most of these short stories are quick reads, about 20 pages long, and among the authors are a number of bestsellers, as well as winners of both Diamond and Gold Daggers. The stories appear to have all been written for the occasion, and are previously un-published.

I think the best were The Part-Time Job, by P.D. James and Between the Lines, by Colin Dexter ( )
