Carnival of Crime: The Best Mystery Stories of Fredric Brown

By Fredric Brown

No Customer Reviews

In these 23stories, Brown never rails to surprise and delight. Time after time the reader anticipates the ending only to discover that once more the author has proved too clever. Yet Brown never "cheats," never feeds false clues, and his endings are always plausible. His imagination is by turns puckish, grim, outlandish--but forever fresh.

Brown's stories run from the fifty-word "Mistake" to a novelette ("The Case of the Dancing Sandwiches"). In "Granny's Birthday," a two-page short short, with Granny supervising like a benign queen, the party goes splendidly, marred only by manslaughter and murder.
