《The Best of Winter’s Crimes》收錄篇目
自1969年起，George Hardinge每年都選編一冊《Winter’s Crimes》作為推理小說年度選集，至1992年的24年間，共出了24本的年度選集，也就是說每年都有一本推理小說精選集出版，而在1986年與1992年這兩年，分別出了精選集的精選集。1986年出的是從1-17集中挑出的40個故事，名為《The Best of Winter’s Crimes》，分為一二兩卷；1992年出的有24個故事，名為《Murders for the Fireside: The Best of Winter’s Crimes》，從此之後這系列就結束了，原因我不清楚，也不知道有沒有其他的年度選集取而代之就是了。
我手邊買到的是《The Best of Winter’s Crimes》，價錢是很漂亮的£9.99，兩冊的精裝書，說實話並不貴，而且保存良好，還有一個黑色硬盒，真是叫人感動。對這套1969年就開始出版的選集而言，要收集1-24冊的話實在有相當難度，我只希望有朝一日可以買到另一冊精選集就好。
