Book Description
"Three-quarters of a century ago, Dorothy L. Sayers compiled the classic anthology The Omnibus of Crime, a definitive collection of short fiction that brought together crime and mystery works from the Apocryphal Scriptures to whodunits from the 1920s. Now, reflecting the explosive developments in the genre, Tony Hillerman and Rosemary Herbert celebrate the seventy-fifth anniversary of that book's publication with A New Omnibus of Crime. Like Sayers's volume, this new book is envisioned as a vehicle carrying stories the editors think represent the best in crime and mystery writing in our time. Selections also reflect the tastes of Contributing Editors Sue Grafton and Jeffery Deaver, both of whom have stories in this volume."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Three authors, three mysteries. Lynnwood, by Thomas Brown, was a finalist in the People’s Book Prize The unthinkable is happening in Lynnwood ‒ a village with centuries of guilt on its conscience. Who wouldn’t want to live in an idyllic village in the English countryside like Lynnwood? With its charming pub, old dairy, friendly vicar, gurgling brooks, and old paths with memories of simpler times. A Taste for Blood, by David Stuart Davies Two plots running parallel... you won’t see what’s coming Two laser-sharp detectives, two thought-provoking cases and two skilful plots. Featuring private investigator Johnny (One Eye) Hawke, and his one-time colleague in the police force Detective David Llewellyn. Llewellyn is investigating the chilling crimes of a top psychiatrist and his scheming patient who the doctor believes has knuckled under his authority. Hawke is on the case of a mysterious suicide in Edgware Road... soon discovered as not your average suicide. The guts and insight of the two investigators bring both cases to a head ‒ though you won’t even begin to see how until you have turned the last pages. Ellipsis, by Nikki Dudley/bbr”Right on time,” Daniel Mansen mouths to Alice as she pushes him to his death.

Can there be a conclusion when no-one seems to know the truth?brbriReviews of the three titles are available on individual title pages/i
