Kayote B. (kayote) reviewed Past Poisons: An Ellis Peters Memorial Anthology of Historical Crime on + 254 more book reviews
This is a collection of short stories in the historical mystery genre, as a tribute to the late Ellis Peters.
Overall, excellent. There were a few stories I think should have been edited out, but for a collection it was overall very well chosen and done. I will look up Marilyn Todd and see if Claudia is a sleuth of hers...if so, I'll have to snag a couple. This is a collection worth rereading a couple times to bring out the names of other authors that are worth pursuing (and a couple that aren't. I may have to mark those if I reread it so I don't read them again.)
A mystery that I'm keeping. Unusual, but this was an unusual collection.
