If characters die in a mystery novel, and no one reads their story, have they died in vain? Mystery experts -- booksellers, reviewers, genre devotees -- introduce you to personal favorites: obscure classics, up-and-coming new writers, great books that unaccountably disappeared and lesser-known titles by bestselling authors. A companion volume to our Agatha and Anthony Award-winning 100 FAVORITE MYSTERIES OF THE CENTURY, this book takes you before the bestsellers, beyond the familiar, with essays recommending over 100 mystery novels -- buried treasures that will become new favorites.

The original publication dates run from 1878 through 2000.
Booksellers and others were asked to contribute 5 books that did not make the 100, but thought they should have. Then they were asked to write no more than two reviews of those favorites. This book includes 103 of these reviews. The introduction indicates 53 of the books reviewed are not longer in print. A brief, interesting paragraph of each contributor is included.
I do not have the “100 Favorite Mysteries of the Century” and probably picked this one up at a used book sale ($0.50). However, I have found it fun reading and used it to lead me to authors I had not read before such as Ruth Dudley Edwards, Cyril Hare, and Catherine Aird. ( )
