Murder at the Manor: Country House Mysteries by Martin EdwardsMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The 16 stories that form this book were written by some of the best mystery authors: Conan Doyle, Margery Allingham, Chesterton.
As the title says, they celebrate the British country house mystery and a time so different from today: upstairs-downstairs in every story.
However, the stories are all very different and I have to say some were very very good and others not so much.
The Sherlock Holmes (The Copper Beeches) is one of the best. Others, like "The Problem of Dead Wood Hall" and "Gentlemen and Players" were quite good. But others, like "The White Pillars Murder" by G. K. Chesterton I just couldn't figure out why they were selected.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
