Vintage Crime by Martin Edwards
Vintage Crime will be a CWA anthology with a difference, celebrating members work over the years. The book will gather stories from the mid-1950s until the twenty-first century by great names of the past, great names of the present together with a few hidden treasures by less familiar writers.
'For more than sixty years, the CWA has done more for British crime writing than any other organisation' -- Andrew Taylor, award-winning author of The American Boy and recipient of the 2009 CWA Diamond Dagger
"A book that should provide hours of entertainment and discovery for fans of mysteries and especially those with British roots and overtones."
"There is something for everyone within this anthology with the stories spanning a variety of time periods and types of crime." -- The Nerdy Girl Express
“Excellently put together, and overall an enjoyable reader that shows many different styles which keeps the genre well and truly alive.”
“[...] if you like “golden age” mysteries, with puzzles to figure out, you’ll enjoy this book. I certainly did!” -- Wine and Proses
