I hope you get to read it too!<br /><br />Tracy - The editor has a fun little intro too where he talks about what the gaslight period should technically be versus what he chose it to mean.<br /><br />Karen - I hope you grab it again sometime. It's a really quick read. All of the stories are fun reads! And I haven't heard of Arnold Bennett before but I would love to read more by him (and some of the other authors featured in the book).<br /><br />Jenners - I actually didn't notice at first and then all of a sudden, I saw what was really going on and just started laughing!<br /><br />Jenny - THAT would be an awesome collection!<br /><br />Kim - I feel like there's more of a disconnect these days between many covers and the stories inside. This one however takes the prize for most perfect fit!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-23992313913304885712011-10-06T05:14:22.658-07:002011-10-06T05:14:22.658-07:00This sounds like so much fun, and I also love the ...This sounds like so much fun, and I also love the cover!Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09240085627916462704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-86273430622105044562011-10-05T15:36:12.875-07:002011-10-05T15:36:12.875-07:00When I saw this title, I thought it meant "ga...When I saw this title, I thought it meant "gaslight" in the verb sense, like in the film Gaslight. I would love to have a whole book full of crime stories about people making other people think they're crazy.

I'm sorry to say I never looked that closely at the cover! Hilarious, thanks for pointing that out. I'll definitely have to look for this one again.<br /><br />I didn't realize Arnold Bennett was included, I really loved The Old Wives' Tale which is one of those forgotten classics.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-37824429759062949872011-10-05T00:16:58.248-07:002011-10-05T00:16:58.248-07:00I love the title - gaslight crime!

I have really been trying to improve my knowledge of crime/detective fiction lately. As soon as I finish my current read which has one chapter to go, I am going to start reading Talking About Detective Fiction by PD James, a book about the history of detectiev fiction. <br /><br />I will definitely keep an eye out for this penguin book.Rebecca Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144719070318640603noreply@blogger.com
