It's the height of summer. As the heat shimmers on the streets and ice cream melts onto sticky fingers, tempers begin to rise and old grudges surface. From Cornish beaches to the French Riviera, it's not just a holiday that's on people's minds ... it's murder.
In these ten classic stories from writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Cyril Hare and Gladys Mitchell, you'll find mayhem and mysteries aplenty. So grab the suncream and head down to the beach - if you dare.
Cecily Gayford studied English at the University of Oxford, where she wrote her thesis on the 'Golden Age' detective stories of the 1930s and 1940s. Now a Publishing Director, she has worked at Profile Books for ten years.
