Resorting To Murder: Holiday Mysteries By The British Library
Publishing Division (Paperback, 2015)
Holidays offer us the luxury of getting away from it all So in a different way do detective stories This collection of vintage mysteries combines both those pleasures From a golf course at the English seaside to a pension in Paris and from a Swiss mountain resort to the cliffs of Normandy this new selection shows the enjoyable and unexpected ways in which crime writers have used summer holidays as a theme These fourteen stories range widely across the golden age of British crime fiction Stellar names from the past are well represented - Arthur Conan Doyle and G K Chesterton for instance - with classic stories that have won acclaim over the decades The collection also uncovers a wide range of hidden gems Anthony Berkeley - whose brilliance with plot had even Agatha Christie in raptures - is
represented by a story so (undeservedly) obscure that even the British Library seems not to own a copy The stories by Phyllis Bentley and Helen Simpson are almost equally rare despite the success which both writers achieved while those by H C Bailey Leo Bruce and the little-known Gerald Findler have seldom been reprinted
