[Myrna · Rating 1 out of 5]

With 100 books in the Collection it is going to take awhile to read. Some selections are worth reading, some are not

[Robert Everhart · Rating 3 out of 5]

A little too classic for me. Many of the stories are available in other collections. I have a kindle version that has no illustrations. Bet that is a loss. Father Brown, Agatha Christie, Doyle, Poe, Dickens...there are several authors gathered here. 20k kb. Not a bad reference to have around.
