Otto Penzler has gathered together another wonderful collection of short stories: Bibliomysteries: Stories of Crime in the World of Books and Bookstores. There’s much to enjoy here, from a drug lord who loves books, to a deadly bookcase, even a Columbo story! One is based on a true story involving pronghorns and a dirigible.

If Ginger Gold and Inspector Reed’s wedding was a bit out of the ordinary, it was nothing compared to the honeymoon! They were traveling on the Flying Scotsman, a high speed train that also carried the mail. Something … unusual was found in one of the mail bags and the Inspector is called in to figure everything out. Naturally, Ginger has to help! It doesn’t help that those cars that are sidelined are the ones with the first class passengers who are less than amused at being detained. As with other Ginger Gold Mystery books, Murder Aboard the Flying Scotsman, by Lee Strauss, was hard to put down.
