A wonderful murder mystery from the 1930's with each chapter written by a different author of "detective" stories, then solutions provided by each in the appendix. Most chapters flow well from one to the next, despite the authors having different writing styles in their own novels.
A true "whodunit" in the style of Agatha Christie, the variety of endings show how the clues could lead in a variety of directions. A lot of fun to read!
