MbD’s Deal Me In challenge master post

I have so many anthologies, I hardly know where to begin.

Ok, a perusal of my shelves gave me the following books that I haven’t even cracked open yet:

In the Shadow of Agatha Christie: Classic Crime Fiction by Forgotten Female Writers 1850-1917;

Bodies from the Library V. 1: Lost Tales of Mystery and Suspense by Agatha Christie and other Masters of the Golden Age;

Great Stories of Crime and Detection V. III: The Forties and the Fifties (Folio);

Great Stories of Crime and Detection V. IV: The Sixties to the Present (Folio);

I figure that gives me something resembling a time continuum of mysteries spanning a century or so.

So, here’s the table:
