Really liked 2/3 of this book - an omnibus edition combining 3 mystery anthologies. The stories in Murder Most Romantic remind me why Romance is a genre I generally avoid. Even with added murder I only liked a few of these stories, mostly the ones by authors I'm already familiar with like P. N. Elrod. "The Show Must Go On", by Neesa Hart, was a particular favorite. The SF entry "12 Days" was an interesting concept but the tech did not age well from 2001's version of 2010. The 2nd collection, Murder Most Medieval - now here's what I like, my favorite subgenre of historical mysteries. Five stories are set in series I read, including an Ellis Peters "Cadfael" I hadn't read before. The 3rd collection is Murder Most Devine - all mysteries in religious settings. More medieval stories here, including a Margaret Frazer Dame Frevisse tale and a P.C. Doherty story. Others have contemporary settings, even noir like Richard Connell's "Brother Orchid" and fantasy in Neil Gaiman's "Murder Mysteries". Huge book, but worth reading through. ( )
