Great American Mystery Stories of the Twentieth Century

The collection is visually appealing but has been edited in a peculiar manner. While most of the content consists of typical selections from mid-century Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, it also features stories by notable authors such as William Faulkner and Pearl Buck. The arrangement is rather unrefined, simply sorted alphabetically by the author’s name. Overall, it is quite enjoyable and has introduced me to several authors I was previously unfamiliar with, particularly Margaret Ellis Miller, Dorothy Salisbury Davis, and Melville Davison Post, whose works I am now eager to explore further.
