British Murder Mysteries - The Annie Haynes Collection

Annie Haynes (1865-1929) was a renowned golden age mystery writer and a contemporary of Agatha Christie, another famous crime writer, which often led to her comparison with the latter, and unfavourably so. In her last years, while suffering from a «grave illness» Haynes continued to produce her mystery masterpieces (12 in total) amongst which «The Crime at Tattenham Corner» was published posthumously and «The Crystal Beads Murder» was completed by an anonymous friend. Haynes's fictions are now lauded for their quick-pace action and sustaining aura of suspense till the end.
