Description

Bodies from the Library brings together 16 rare stories of crime and suspense from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, a period when detective fiction captured the public's imagination and saw the emergence of some of the world's cleverest storytellers. This anthology includes a newly discovered Agatha Christie crime story that has not been seen since 1922, alongside tales by masters of the genre, including A.A. Milne, Agatha Christie, and Nicholas Blake. The collection spans five decades of writing, featuring forgotten tales that have either been published only once before or have never appeared in print. It includes stories by women writers, such as Georgette Heyer and Christianna Brand, as well as contributions from Detection Club stalwarts like Anthony Berkeley and John Rhode. This anthology harks back to a time before forensic science, when murder was a complex business. With its unique blend of rare and previously unpublished stories, Bodies from the Library offers a fascinating glimpse into the Golden Age of Detective Fiction.
