Andy Ihnatko, on writing:
Writing is hard.
That's why so few people stick to it and actually finish things.
And why you have a right to be immensely proud
when you finish something.

Description:
Fifty Best Mysteries is a Who’s Who of mystery from the pages of the leading magazine in the field. Showcasing the best short fiction published in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine over a range of fifty years, this book is a treasure trove for mystery lovers everywhere. As editor Eleanor Sullivan writes, “I took the task by decades and decided to go after solid and entertaining stories by regular and significant contributors, stories that reflected the time in which they were written and the best work being produced in that decade.” To this end, Sullivan has collected an astounding array of talent, from early works by John Dickson Carr, Margery Allingham, Anthony Boucher, and Ngaio Marsh in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, to later selections by Patricia Highsmith, Robert Bloch, Ruth Rendell, Donald E. Westlake, and Simon Brett that appeared over the next two decades.
