This is a collection of short stories in the historical mystery genre, as a tribute to the late Ellis Peters.

Overall, excellent. There were a few stories I think should have been edited out, but for a collection it was overall very well chosen and done. I will look up Marilyn Todd and see if Claudia is a sleuth of hers...if so, I'll have to snag a couple. This is a collection worth rereading a couple times to bring out the names of other authors that are worth pursuing (and a couple that aren't. I may have to mark those if I reread it so I don't read them again.)

A mystery that I'm keeping. Unusual, but this was an unusual collection.
