- Too Little and Very Late
I was very disappointed with my first issue of "The Strand." Very few stories, a couple of interviews and the rest was book reviews.

My biggest disappointment was not with the magazine itself, but with the customer service at Magazine Express. I placed my order for the magazine in November, ... Read More

The original Strand magazine was published from the 1890's until 1950. Bringing the stories of Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and G. K. Chesterton to a wide readership, it also printed a serialized "Hound of the Baskervilles." Now it's back with short stories, articles and interviews with the most exciting contemporary (primarily but not exclusively British) mystery writers.Death of an Obnoxious Tourist (Five Star Mystery Series)
Rating: - An attractively-presented,very reasonably priced magazine with high-quality fiction offerings
As someone who enjoys mysteries--including many of those broadcast on satellite radio--I looked forward to receiving my first copy of The Strand (the 72-page, February-June 2007 issue (Issue XXI)). The Table of Contents of this attractive issue lists five fiction works, two interviews and three "Articles" (one of the "Articles" consisting of reviews of books and audiobooks). (In addition, in this 72-page issue, my count of pages on which the entire page consists of an announcement or presentation (my terms), ... Read More
