Dis-satisfied,
This review is from: Best British Mysteries 3 (2006) (v. 3) (Paperback)
I ordered this thinking I would receive a collection of very good British mysteries--my passion! But when it came, I was quite disappointed. There are, perhaps, one or two short stories that I enjoyed, but most of them were very unsatisfactory, in my opinion. I consider it a "give-to-the-thrift-store" purchase. Save your money!!
