I didn't like this one nearly as much as the other collections in the series. In this case, the theme of the book gives away what may otherwise have come as twists for some of the stories. Fewer of the stories than usual are actual murder mysteries, and more of the stories are from the perpetrators' viewpoints or otherwise unconventionally structured. Just overall not as fun as the locked room or Christmas ones, although I do appreciate that as usual the collection was full of more obscure stories readers are unlikely to have come across before.

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.

The first in the this series that I am not that jazzed about - I don't know if the theme didn't gel or if the authors didn't resonate with me (I've never been a big fan of Chesterton, for example) but it was a struggle to finish this one. I wouldn't recommend as an entry point to the series but completists may want to dip a toe in.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
