About book The Mammoth Book Of Locked Room Mysteries And Impossible Crimes (Mammoth) (2000)

I've struggled with this one. Seriously struggled. While this is certainly a collection of locked-room mysteries, the style, scope and even quality of the stories vary so much that the collection seriously lacks focus. With a smaller collection, that might be all right, but with such a significant volume - it is, indeed, 'mammoth' - the reading experience easily grows tedious rather than exciting. It is, of course, impossible for every reader to enjoy every story equally, but the context in which these stories are presented make it more easily for readers to get bored and impatient. It's saying something that I cannot even think of a single story to point out as particularly engaging or stand-out; this is quite simply too much, and too grab-bag.
