MMany story anthologies have arisen from the annual Malice Domestic conference, including Anne Perry Presents Malice Domestic 6: An Anthology of Original Traditional Mystery Stories. As you might suspect, the stories featured in this anthology from 1997 are of the "cozy" and traditional variety by authors from Australia, Britain and the U.S. The Mystery Lovers Bookshop calls this (and its companion books in the series), "the quintessential cozy anthology." The Chicago Sun Times added that "You will relish all these stories like tasty morsels," and it's easy to see why with the all-star lineup:

Contents:
* A Dance with Life, Death... and Laughter by Anne Perry
* The Corbett Correspondence by Edward Marston & Peter Lovesey
* Like to Die by Catherine Aird
* Immortality [Sebastian Grady] by Jon L. Breen
* Ways to Kill a Cat by Simon Brett

Lest you think traditional mysteries are only the realm of the female gender, two of the standout stories are actually by male authors. "Two Ladies of Rose Cottage" by Peter Robinson" won the Macavity Award for Best Short Story, and both that tale and the "Corbett Correspondence" by Edward Marston and Peter Lovesey were nominated for Agatha Awards the same year.
