Best Brit mysteries 4

I am reading it now and am so pleased with it and also arrival quick

Breaktaking Suspense!

Each story is unique and absorbing; sometimes the ending is so unexpected I have to catch my breath; for example; The Greatest Trick of All, by Lee Childs, unforgettable!

outstanding work

Some of the best and brightest in the genre are reprsented here. Wonderful short stories that are a very good look at today's British writers. These aren't traditional mysteries like Agatha Christie, but that's not whats being written today and it's not representative of todays world. In particular I loved the fact that all the stories are a bit different from one another. You definitly can not judge the whole collection by one story.

For dedicated mystery story enthusiasts

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.

Excellent Sampler!!!!!

If you love mysteries or are new to the field and want to discover some of the best writers in the business, than this is the book for you! Wonderful stories from names many will recognize as regulars on the best-seller lists here in the States, and from others who are best sellers in Britain. This book is a must read for anyone who loves good writing let alone a good mystery!!
