Description:
Fifty Best Mysteries is a Who’s Who of mystery from the pages of the leading
magazine in the field. Showcasing the best short fiction published in Ellery
Queen’s Mystery Magazine over a range of fifty years, this book is a
treasure trove for mystery lovers everywhere. As editor Eleanor Sullivan
writes, “I took the task by decades and decided to go after solid and
entertaining stories by regular and significant contributors, stories that
reflected the time in which they were written and the best work being produced
in that decade.” To this end, Sullivan has collected an astounding array of
talent, from early works by John Dickson Carr, Margery Allingham, Anthony
Boucher, and Ngaio Marsh in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, to later selections by
Patricia Highsmith, Robert Bloch, Ruth Rendell, Donald E. Westlake, and Simon
Brett that appeared over the next two decades.

Andy Ihnatko, on writing:
Writing is hard.
That's why so few people stick to it and actually finish things.
And why you have a right to be immensely proud when you finish something.
