A whole book of locked-room mysteries! That is a treasure. And the cover illustration makes me wonder: did murder mysteries use to have a more equitable distribution of male and female victims? I get the impression that it's all women being murdered all the way down the line nowadays. I can barely stand to look at the mystery and suspense shelves anymore. "When a young woman is found bludgeoned to death ..." "When three young women ..." "When eight sex workers ..." Et sickening cetera.
