Tales of Crime and Intrigue
A Seven-Day Anthology of Classic British Mystery and Ghost Stories
Locked rooms, shadowy suspects, and seven days of golden-age mystery.
Available in ebook and paperback. The link takes you to your local Amazon store.
You've heard the names. Sherlock Holmes. Father Brown. Dracula's author. But have you actually sat down with their short stories — the compact, perfectly crafted ones that defined British mystery and gothic fiction?
By the end of the week you'll have moved from locked-room deduction to midnight ghost encounters, from a Christmas jewel theft to a haunted judge's manor. Every story delivers. Every story is different. A guided way into classic British mystery — without committing to a 400-page novel.
