Serpents in Eden: Countryside Crimes (British Library Crime Classics), Edited by Martin Edwards
Many of the greatest British crime writers have explored the possibilities of crime in the countryside in lively and ingenious short stories. Serpents in Eden celebrates the rural British mystery by bringing together an eclectic mix of crime stories written over half a century. From a tale of poison-pen letters tearing apart a village community to a macabre mystery by Arthur Conan Doyle, the stories collected here reveal the dark truths hidden in an assortment of rural paradises.
Among the writers included are such major figures as G.K. Chesterson and Margery Allingham, along with lesser-known discoveries whose best stories are among the unsung riches of the golden age of British crime fiction between the two world wars.
