{"product_id":"9781631940712","title":"Collected Short Mysteries","description":"Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt. If it did, none of us would read series fiction. “Noooo,” we’d whine. “Not another book about Inspector Alleyn!” When it comes to Ngaio Marsh – and in truth, one or two other writers we could mention – familiarity has tended mostly to breed delight.\u003cbr\u003eAnd yet. There is something wonderful about watching a writer go for the unfamiliar, write short pieces instead of novels, true crime rather than fiction, fiction without the support of – well, in this case, without Inspector Alleyn. He’s here (and Troy is too); their devotees will not be disappointed. But this collection also offers a lot we haven’t seen before, gives us access to rooms in Dame Ngaio’s imagination that we hadn’t known existed.","brand":"Felony \u0026 Mayhem Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136437862640,"sku":"9781631940712","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781631940712_p0.jpg?v=1772805774","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781631940712","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
