Fans of traditional British Mysteries are in for a treat with three novels from Wilkie Collins, A. A. Milne and Ford Madox Ford! Included in Volume 1 of British Mystery Multipacks: THE GOOD SOLDIER by Ford Madox Ford Ford Madox Ford paved the way for over a century of thriller writers and film-makers who would go on to use the idea of the unreliable narrator to create mystery and suspense. Events chronicle the tragedy of Edward Ashburnham, the soldier to whom the title refers, and his own seemingly perfect marriage and that of two American friends. The novel opens with the famous line, "This is the saddest story I have ever heard." The narrator explains that for nine years he, his wife Florence and their friends Ashburnham and his wife Leonora had an ostensibly normal friendship while Edward and Florence sought treatment for their heart ailments at a spa in Nauheim, Germany. As it turns out, nothing in the relationships or in the characters is as it first seems. Florence's heart ailment is a fiction she perpetrated on John to force them to stay in Europe so that she could continue her affair with an American thug named Jimmy. Edward and Leonora have a loveless, imbalanced marriage broken by his constant infidelities (both of body and heart) and Leonora's attempts to control Edward's affairs (both financial and romantic). Dowell is a fool and is coming to realize how much of a fool he is, as Florence and Edward had an affair under his nose for nine years without John knowing until Florence was dead. The Good Soldier is a masterpiece of early twentieth-century fiction. ''One of the finest novels of our century.'' --Graham Greene. HAUNTED HOTEL by Wilkie Collins The ghost of Lord Montberry haunts the Palace Hotel in Venice --- or does it? Montberry's beautiful-yet-terrifying wife, the Countess Narona, and her erstwhile brother are the center of the terror that fills the Palace Hotel. Are their malefactions at the root of the haunting -- or is there something darker, something much more unknowable at work? Wilkie Collins's little known horror-ghost story of 1878 recalls his two prior triumphs The Woman in White and The Moonstone with its use of detective procedures and mystery-genre plot twists that made those two earlier novels so popular with Victorian readers. THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY by A. A. Milne The Red House Mystery is a "locked room" whodunnit by A. A. Milne, published in 1922. It was Milne's only mystery novel. Mark Ablett has disappeared, so Tony Gillingham, a stranger who has just arrived to call on his friend Bill, decides to investigate. Gillingham plays Sherlock Holmes to his younger counterpart's Doctor Watson; they progress almost playfully through the novel while the clues mount up and the theories abound. In his introduction to the 1926 UK edition, A. A. Milne said he had "a passion" for detective stories, having "all sorts of curious preferences" about them: though in real life the best detectives and criminals are professionals, Milne demanded that the detective be an unscientific amateur, accompanied by a likeable Watson, rubbing shoulders with an amateur villain against whom dossiers and fingerprints are of no avail. This was Milne's first and final venture into the detective and mystery genre, despite its immediate success and an offer of two thousand pounds for his next mystery novel. Milne lets his readers inside the head of his amateur detective, disregarding the clichéd romance or violence of other detective novels, as the mystery becomes a puzzling sort of parlor game for the novel's characters and readers alike. Alexander Woollcott called The Red House Mystery "one of the three best mystery stories of all time."

Jolly hockey-sticks! It's Volume 6 of British Mystery Multipacks: BRITISH SPY MYSTERIES. Seven classic espionage thrillers from across the pond filled with murder, mayhem and suspense: The Thirty-Nine Steps John Buchan's groundbreaking series featuring spy Richard Hannay appears here in three books, The Thirty-Nine Steps and its first two sequels, Greenmantle and Mr. Standfast. The first novel formed the basis for a number of film adaptations, notably: Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 version; a 1959 color remake; a 1978 version which is perhaps most faithful to the novel; and a 2008 version for British television. The Riddle of The Sands by Erskine Childers A book that caused a huge sensation when it was first published, this is a vivid account of German preparations to invade England, released at a time when tensions between the countries were rising. Named by The Guardian newspaper as one of the 100 greatest novels of all time, The Riddle of the Sands has delighted generations of sailing aficionados and thriller readers with its nautical and political verisimilitude. Bulldog Drummond by Sapper The first book in the series by Sapper (H. C. McNeile) revolutionized the thriller genre and introduced one of popular fiction's most enduring heroes. Drummond is a First World War veteran, brutalized by his experiences in the trenches and bored with his post-war lifestyle. He publishes an advertisement looking for adventure, and soon finds himself embroiled in a series of exploits, many of which involve Carl Peterson-who becomes his nemesis-and Peterson's mistress, the femme fatale Irma. The Passenger From Calais by Arthur Griffiths An army officer, and a mysterious lady with a maid and baby in tow, are the only passengers on the Engadine express from Calais. The lady is afraid that someone is following her. Who is she? And what is her strange package? The Czar's Spy by William Le Queux William Le Queux was a British novelist and prolific writer of mysteries. Indeed, mystery surrounds the author himself as to whether he was a spy or rather just a self-promoter. Regardless of which is true, Le Queux brings us a story of intrigue and espionage that travels across Europe in the true spirit of a good mystery. There are shootings, burglaries, romances, escapes from prisons, and intricate conspiracies that may surprise and leave you scratching your head as you try to solve this "whodunit". In the best tradition of a good mystery however, you may need to wait for the final chapters to discover the truth.

Volume 9 of British Mystery Multipacks is devoted to a forgotten mystery franchise, The Max Carrados Mysteries. Ernest Bramah's mastermind detective, a brilliant criminologist who happens to be blind, was originally featured in The Strand magazine alongside Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Detective Carrados may not have had the longevity of Holmes, but in the Golden Age of Detective Fiction he often outsold Doyle's super-sleuth and received billing over Holmes in many Strand issues. Bramah is an interesting author, one who had success across multiple genres, including fantasy and science fiction. He was influential on George Orwell who said, of The Max Carrados Mysteries, that they "are the only detective stories since Poe that are worth re-reading." British Mystery Multipack Volume 9 presents the following Max Carrados mysteries: The Coin of Dionysius The Knight's Cross Signal Problem The Tragedy at Brookbend Cottage The Clever Mrs. Straithwaite The Last Exploit of Harry the Actor The Tilling Shaw Mystery The Comedy at Fountain Cottage The Game played in the Dark

Fans of British Mysteries are in for a treat! Included in Volume 2 of British Mystery Multipacks: LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET by Mary Elizabeth Braddon First published in 1862, Lady Audley's Secret has been called "the most sensationally successful of all the sensation novels". Elements of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's classic mirror themes of the real-life Constance Kent case of June 1860 which gripped the nation for years. Constance Emily Kent was an English woman who confessed to a notorious child murder that took place when she was sixteen years old. THE FOUR JUST MEN by Edgar Wallace From the creator of King Kong comes The Four Just Men, a detective mystery first published in 1905. After The Great War, the four eponymous men are pardoned on condition that they remain within the law and continue to operate a legitimate detective agency. But the four men take it upon themselves to kill for the greater cause of justice--in theory, those who are "beyond the law" like government figures, lawmakers, and other figures powerful enough to thwart justice. THE NINESCORE MYSTERY by Baroness Orczy From Baroness Orczy, author of The Scarlet Pimpernel, comes the first in a series of 12 stories featuring one of literature's first female detectives. Molly Robertson-Kirk a.k.a. Lady Molly of Scotland Yard shares the same mental prowess as C. Auguste Dupin and Sherlock Holmes but brings a woman's wit to the table making for a formidable crime buster.
