This wasn't bad. I certainly enjoyed the geographical perspective and the annotated city maps, which were large, colourful, and on quality stock. Also, the summaries of each detective series included interwoven backgrounds covering not only the author's real life and the character's fictional life, plus the "life" of the books themselves from a market standpoint — an interesting triad of perspectives. Finally, I appreciate that this book introduced me to Ian Rankin's "Rebus" stories set in and around Edinburgh, which was a pleasant diversion.
However, I have trouble giving full marks to any overview of detective fiction, especially one with a British / English focus, which fails to even list Dame Christie in the index. Overall, this is an interesting and occasionally eclectic compilation, suitable for coffee-table browsing and perhaps a brief perusal before sojourning to an included city.
