Summary: Great? More like unknown.
Comment: I picked up this book thinking I would be reading about detectives of the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, and Miss Marple. The back cover lists such literary greats as Agatha Christie, William Faulkner, and Ray Bradbury. But when I read the short story by Agatha Christie, who did it feature? Not Poirot, not Miss Marple, but one George Rowland. Never heard of him, you say? Well, I have read this particular story before, but it's barely memorable. It involves a minor mystery that does not involve a murder. An Agatha Christie story without murder! The editor's poor choice of this short story is indicative of the other types of stories he used to make up this collection. Throughout the book I found one tepid and boring mystery after another. I would definitely recommend borrowing this one before buying.
