This review is from: The Mammoth Book of Best British Mysteries (Paperback)
I struggled to get through a couple of the stories, but they were so awful I gave the book away without trying any more of the stories. I think that some of the writers of these stories have the "mystery short story" formula in their PCs and just change the names and places to churn more drivil. I have to say tho that the person I gave this anthology to liked it well enough.

This review is from: The Mammoth Book of British Mysteries (Mammoth Book of S.) (Kindle Edition)
About 1/2 of these English stories were worth reading, but for under $5.00 this was
still a good value. There's LOTS of reading here.
