I got this book from a Little Free Library, I think the one by the Spring Park Fire Station. It was fun! There were 22 short stories by various authors. The stories were detective mysteries. I read this book while up in Alaska for 3 weeks with Adam, Danette, and Eliya. I was usually very sleepy and the stories blended together, but the overall feeling was of early 1900s London. It was fun. There was one haunting story, by P.D. James, that I didn’t like at all – The Girl Who Loved Graveyards. The ending was one of those psycho-scary twists you aren’t expecting and it was unsettling. But the other stories were fun and took me away to Britain. There were stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Graham Greene, and a bunch of others. Fun book.
