This is a 1969 selection of short stories of crime-solving, some first published 30 years or more earlier. Authors include Ellery Queen, Agatha Christie, Erle Stanley Gardner, and John Dickson Carr.
Mackinlay Kantor, better known for non-mystery novels of the American South, proves he can write a story of detection with the best of them, and August Derleth contributes a story featuring two characters very (and deliberately) like Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
All are well written. This is a useful look at some of the masters of mystery of the first half of the 20th Century.
