Book Review of The Greatest Mystery Stories of the 20th Century

reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


Fascinating stories read by superb performers. Completely absorbing. Absolutely not to be missed are "The Nine Mile Walk" by Harry Kemelman, and "The Blue Cross" by G. K. Chesterton. However, some other of the stories are very graphic, dealing with grisly crimes and sexual situations. I didn't finish the collection because, not being familiar with all the stories, I didn't know what to expect and which ones I would rather skip.
