The holiday season is here, and for most of us, our minds are on carefree days in the sunshine. But for every trip to the seaside or sultry afternoon on the sunlounger, there's someone who's busy packing a suitcase full of secrets and a motive ... for murder. Join ten of the best crime writers in history for the trip of a lifetime, as they puzzle, astound and delight you with these classic mysteries. Whether on the English coast or the blistering terraces of the Mediterranean, it's time to spread out the beach towel, put your feet up... but never forget to watch your back. Featuring work by classic crime authors such as Dorothy L. Sayers, Cyril Hare, Margery Allingham, John Dickson Carr and others
