SynopsisDepending on who you ask, the term "whodunit" was first coined sometime around 1930, but the literary form predates that name by several decades. Still, it was in the years between the two World Wars--the so-called "Golden Age" of mystery fiction--that the style flourished. Short mysteries were published far and wide by a variety of authors, not just those primarily associated with the genre. They appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, Cosmopolitan, The New Yorker, and other high-end periodicals that still exist today. These tales were, in short, among the most popular diversions in literature and were of the highest caliber. In this volume, Edgar Award-winning anthologist Otto Penzler collects some of the finest American whodunits of the era, including household names and welcome rediscoveries. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ellery Queen, and Mary Roberts Rinehart are all included, as are Ring Lardner, Melville Davisson Post, and Helen Reilly. The result is a cross section of the whodunit tale in the years that made it a staple in mystery fiction.

Good short stories from the 30's and 40's.
It is a compilation of 15 different author's short stories from the 1930's-1940's, and an introduction by Otto Penzler. It includes stories by Ellery Queen ("Man Bites Dog"), Helen Reilly, F Scott Fitzgerald, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Anthony Boucher, etc. I checked out this book from the library, read the stories by my favorite authors, and liked it so much I bought it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
