Books like Resorting to Murder by Martin Edwards


Resorting to Murder is a collection of fourteen vintage British mystery stories that pair the allure of summer holidays with the intrigue of crime and investigation. Set in varied locales—an English seaside golf course, a Parisian pension, a Swiss mountain resort, and the cliffs of Normandy—the tales showcase the genre’s versatility. Renowned figures such as Arthur Conan Doyle and G.K. Chesterton contribute classic pieces that have stood the test of time, while lesser‑known writers like Anthony Berkeley, Phyllis Bentley, Helen Simpson, H.C. Bailey, Leo Bruce and Gerald Findler offer rare, rarely reprinted gems, enriching the anthology with fresh perspectives on classic detective fiction. The book invites readers to enjoy the contrast between leisurely holiday settings and the suspenseful unraveling of crimes.
