Martin Edward’s ‘Acknowledgments’ is the winning story of the Crime Writers’ Association Margery Allingham Short Story Competition, 2014. Julia Jones, one of the founders and judges of the competition, called it a ‘worthy first winner’ and said that Allingham ‘would have loved it’.
Bloomsbury Reader is delighted to be publishing this deserving winner alongside two additional short crime stories from Martin Edwards: ‘Are You Sitting Comfortably?’ and ‘Neighbours’, as well as his essay on Margery Allingham’s short story writing and a foreword by Julia Jones.
