A review by vsbedford
Continental Crimes by Martin Edwards

2.0

This collection of continental Europe sited crime stories falls short, to me, of the high bar for quality and content set by Poison Press. The mysteries dragged or, like in the case of the Father Brown entry, were so peremptory and cliche-ridden they reach the point of absurdity. Even Agatha Christie's most irritating sleuth, Parker Pyne, shows up to harrumph around after the lost jewels of an insipid couple on a train or some such nonsense; honestly, I was bored by that point. Not a recommend.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
