RLS is so good. Poe is in my pantheon as well for short mysteries as well.

Yeah, I checked out a compendium of his short stories from the library after having the plot of the bottle imp referenced in an article I was reading and thinking it was a fascinating plot idea. All the stories were good, I wish I had more time to read!
