Lydia Adamson contributed to …And the Dying is Easy, a mystery anthology published in 2001 that collects short crime fiction from multiple authors. The anthology gave readers a taste of Adamson’s mystery writing in a shorter format than the novels.
Adamson is best known for her cat mystery series, including the Alice Nestleton and Dr. Deirdre Quinn Nightingale books. Her contribution to …And the Dying is Easy sits alongside stories from other mystery writers and shows her range beyond the novel format. The “Lydia Adamson” name is a pen name for Frank King.
The anthology itself has a summer theme, with stories that take place during warm-weather months. It collects contributions from several well-known mystery authors and was published by Signet in paperback.
