Review: Great reading at a bargain price

The book contains 24 short stories, mostly Lord Peter Wimsey, but six Montague Egg stories as well. The stories are clever and well thought out, though one story where Lord Peter goes undercover for two years seems a bit far-fetched. Montague Egg is a travelling salesman in wines and spirits (high class of course) and quite far from the more familiar Lord Peter. Of necessity, his mysteries are usually things he comes across while "travelling" and tend to be short and to the point.If you enjoy 30s-era British mysteries this book is a great bargain - over 600 pages for $2.99.
