British Library Crime Classics

"Forgotten Classics of the Golden Age of British Crime Writing"
Classic Crime Fiction has been a big guilty pleasure of mine ever since I read my first book by Agatha Christie (Cat among the Pigeons). I only found out about these lovely books about a year ago and quite by chance and soon added some to my collection - way to go though.
