I remembered a book (which I have around here somewhere) called: Asimov's Mysteries. These were science fiction mystery stories. But this one:
The Best Mysteries of Isaac Asimov isn't a collection of science fiction stories. Instead it contains stories from two different series of stories that Asimov wrote. The last stories are from the Union Club series and deal with spy and counterspy stuff.
The first stories are from the Black Widowers Club series and were my favorites. The waiter at the club meetings is Henry who is kind of like Jeeves in the Wodehouse stories. a self-effacing genius who usually has the answer to the mystery. Each story is prefaced with a note from Asimov which is interesting. Also, although there is the skull on the illustration, there isn't a lot of violence in the stories which is fine by me.
The book was a fun surprise to me (didn't know about the non-science fiction Asimov stories) - Highly recommended !

later update: I hadn't finished listening to part II when I wrote the above (and still haven't), but noticed that the story:

is also included in the book. It is in fact an excellent science fiction story and was included in
