Book excerpt: In 1974, two men vanished without a trace under suspicious circumstances, shocking the people of Iceland, where serious crime is almost nonexistent. More than a year later, there seemed to be a breakthrough when a small-time crook named Erla Bolladottir described a dream to police that they interpreted as a sign of trauma related to the men's disappearance. After lengthy interrogations, investigations, and courtroom dramas, Erla and five acquaintances confessed to killing both men and were given prison sentences ranging from three years to life. But over the years, the case against the convicted six began to disintegrate, and one major question remained unanswered: Why had they all confessed to murder if they hadn't done it?

Book excerpt: Mystery crime fiction written in the Golden Age of Murder "[R]eaders who appreciate careful plot development, slightly unusual detectives, and logical denouements will relish this volume." —Library Journal Impossible crime stories have been relished by puzzle-lovers ever since the invention of detective fiction. Fiendishly intricate cases were particularly well suited to the cerebral type of detective story that became so popular during the 'golden age of murder' between the two world wars. But the tradition goes back to the days of Edgar Allan Poe and Wilkie Collins, and impossible crime stories have been written by such luminaries as Arthur Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers and Margery Allingham. This anthology celebrates their work, alongside long-hidden gems by less familiar writers. Together these stories demonstrate the range and high accomplishment of the classic British impossible crime story over more than half a century.

Book excerpt: Inexperienced travelers and introverts Olivia Haines and Ron Whittaker decide to take their honeymoon in Mexico aboard the cruise ship the Pan Americana. They agree to change their behaviors while on vacation and become more social with no idea what this extroverted performance might cost them. They quickly befriend several of their odd shipmates. There's the loud mouth heiress who wants to run their lives and her nemesis, Alan Paxton, who likes to make her rich life miserable. There's a retired Episcopal priest and his wife. Finally, Mallory Holmes: a blind and deaf young man with a frigid wife. These odd new friendships flounder, however, when Alan ends up murdered, and Mallory claims he's the perpetrator. The passengers arrive together back in Los Angeles, where the murder case unfolds. Ron's cousin takes the case, despite Mallory's insistence of his own guilt. Olivia and Ron are starting to regret their decision to "meet people," but even they believe Mallory is innocent. They take it upon themselves to find the real killer, and no one will be more surprised by the truth than the newly married couple.

Book excerpt: A headless victim in a locked room...an impossible murder A headless mystery writer is found in a locked room that no one could have left without leaving the door unlocked. When the room is broken into, there is no head, no weapon, and no murderer. The only way the killer could have left the room is through the door that has just been forced open. And the late decapitated mystery writer, George Zimaresh, has left a note with cryptic clues for Dr. Imogene Chaplin, the pathologist on the scene. The only problem is that Chaplin didn't know Zimaresh, and Zimaresh couldn't have known her. And yet... It's not enough that Imogene Chaplin is a diagnostic pathologist who doesn't like doing autopsies or forensics. She is only doing this job on a temporary basis, reluctantly. Now she is sucked into this investigation. She must solve this apparently impossible murder before she ends up being a victim herself.

Book excerpt: While vacationing in Florida, Mr. and Mrs. North investigate a doctor’s murder It’s morning in Key West, and Pamela North has gone fishing for pelicans. Her husband, Jerry, insists it’s impossible to go fishing for birds, but when he finds her later on, she’s surrounded by pelicans on all sides. He shouldn’t be surprised; Pamela has made a career out of doing the impossible—and she’s not finished yet. A blizzard is battering New York City, but the Norths have come south for sun and sand and a spot of tennis in old Key West. Murder wasn’t on their agenda, but Pamela has a way of finding it wherever she goes. She’s just gone out for another morning of luring pelicans when she finds a local physician at the end of the pier, a bullet in his chest and his blood all over the dock. The birds will have to wait; the Norths are about to go fishing for a killer. Murder by the Book is the 26th book in the Mr. and Mrs. North Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
