Longman Anthology of Detective Fiction
Read for a class.
Nice array of detective stories arranged into different categories that was easy to figure out but my favourite was the essays included by the authors of the stories.
One pet peeve was that a lot of the essays spoiled the short stories, so if you're using this for a class maybe schedule the essays for AFTER the equivalent story.
