Murder by the Book by Martin Edwards
With Martin Edwards as librarian and guide, delve into an irresistible stack of bibliomysteries, where golden age-inspired puzzle masters are] doing what they do best: bringing together readers, books, and felonies in] perhaps the single best collection yet in this blue-chip series (Kirkus Reviews).
There is no better hiding place for clues--or red herrings--than inside the pages of a book. But in this world of resentful ghost writers, indiscreet playwrights, and unscrupulous book collectors, literary prowess is often a prologue to disaster. Readers should be warned that the most riveting tales often conceal the deadliest of secrets.
Featuring much-loved Golden Age detectives Nigel Strangeways, Philip Trent, Detective Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn, and others, a bookish puzzle threatens an eagerly awaited inheritance; a submission to a publisher recounts a murder that seems increasingly to be a work of nonfiction; an irate novelist puts a grisly end to the source of his writer's block.
