Vile deeds abound in these exhilarating short stories. But go ahead and enjoy the macabre tales guilt-free! After all, it's hard to imagine a more impressive literary collection of mystery fiction. Madness swirls through Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat"; a gruesomely clever ending lurks in Roald Dahl's "Lamb to the Slaughter"; Agatha Christie's "Philomel Cottage" is almost painfully suspenseful. Other celebrated British and American authors featured here include Arthur Conan Doyle, John Updike, Ruth Rendell, C. S. Forester, and Ellery Queen. Murder Short and Sweet offers big thrills for fans of the masterful whodunit.
