WITH AN INTRODUCTION ON THE HISTORY OF HOLIDAY MYSTERIES BY MARTIN EDWARDS
All about them, happy holiday-makers were strolling and laughing, evidently oblivious of the prevailing perils of their chosen resort...
A cold case of poisonings heats up at a quaint guest house. A string of suspicious murders follows a crime writer's tour bus. Two seedy stowaways uncover an infamous smuggling ring.
Everyone needs a break now and then, but sometimes getting away can be murder. In this new anthology, Martin Edwards presents a jam-packed travel-case of eighteen classic mysteries, featuring short stories from crime fiction legends such as Christianna Brand, Anthony Berkeley and Celia Fremlin alongside rare finds revived from the British Library archives. Including intriguing notes on the stories and their authors, this volume is your ticket to a thrilling journey from 1920s seaside skulduggery through to calamity in 1980s suburbia - perfect for armchair travelling or your own summer getaway.
