There is a special charm about vintage fiction in which crimes are solved not by forensics, in the laboratory, but by intuition and deduction. The latest collection in the Vintage Murders series transports us from the English seaside to Corfu and Alsace and to that famously foreign country, the past, in the company of Simon Brett, Ellis Peters, Michael Innes and Arthur Conan Doyle - such great storytellers, it's criminal.
