Five historical mysteries including Out of the Blue, The Dark Farewell, This Rough Magic, Slay Ride and Murder Between the Pages. Out of the Blue - France, 1916. Grieving over the death of his lover, British flying ace Bat Bryant accidentally kills the man threatening him with exposure. Unfortunately, there's a witness: the big, rough American they call "Cowboy"-and Cowboy has his own price for silence. The Dark Farewell - Little Egypt, 1922. It's the Roaring Twenties and Prohibition has hit Little Egypt where newspaper man David Flynn has come to do a follow-up story on the Herrin Massacre. But the massacre isn't the only news in town. Spiritualist Medium Julian Devereux claims to speak to the dead-and he charges a pretty penny for it. Flynn is convinced Devereux is as fake as a cigar store Indian, but when Julian begins to see bloodstained visions of a serial killer, the only person he can turn to for help is the cynical Mr. Flynn. This Rough Magic - San Francisco, 1935. Wealthy playboy Brett Sheridan thinks he knows the score when he hires tough guy private eye Neil Patrick Rafferty to find a priceless stolen folio of Shakespeare's The Tempest before his marriage to a society heiress is jeopardized. What Brett doesn't count on is the instant and powerful attraction that flares between him and Rafferty. Slay Ride - 1943 Montana. Returning home to Montana after being wounded in the Pacific, Police Chief Robert Garrett was hoping for a little much needed Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Man. Instead, he finds himself chasing after a cold-blooded killer on Christmas Day, aided-whether he likes it or not-by eager young reporter Jamie Jameson. Murder Between the Pages - 1948 Massachusetts. Felix Day, author of the Constantine Sphinx mysteries, and Leonard Fuller, author of the Inspector Fez mysteries, are bitter rivals and the best of enemies. Both happen to be present when a notorious author of roman a? clef is shot by an invisible assailant during a signing at historic Marlborough Bookstore.… (más)

The publisher's blurb gives the hooks, but here are my reactions to this favorite author's stories in this book.
1. Out of the Blue (1916): grief, loss, pilots in the Royal Flying Corps billeted in France, bullying, erotic affirmation of living, fine love story.
2. The Dark Farewell (1922): the 1922 miners' murders in Herrin, Il are fact. So is Prohibition and the ways that people used to get around it. The reluctant romance between the reporter and the spiritualist is really different from the usual as is the treatment of the supernatural in that era.
3. This Rough Magic (1935): Good mystery with an insight into sudden awareness of a person who finds that he is not who he thinks he is. I'm a sucker for a good mystery.
4. Slay Ride (1943): The police chief had been invalided out of the service after a leg wound in the Pacific. The young reporter keeps trying to enlist but is 4-F. Chasing a murderous thief together they explore a love neither had admitted for a number of years. Moving.
Murder Between the Pages (1948): there is more sly humor in this excellent whodunit that is a lot like the other JL mysteries I love.
Despite my annoyance of anthologies that are not print copies, I really enjoyed each of these stories!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook from JustJoshin Publishing, Inc. via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )
