Nothing wrong with it per se - I simply found it lacking in substance, the stories were short, as advertised, but too many of them implied something interesting, rather than making the effort to describe it.

This was a very weird "murder mystery" anthology since several of the stories featured murder that wasn't a mystery at all. Instead it just shows a series of events that include a murder.

However, the actors performing the stories were great. My favorite was Joan Rivers -- especially with the kicker at the end of the story.

The very first story was my favorite. Number three was also that way. They were a bit like the old Alfred Hitchcock books of multi authors & their short stories with a bit of a twist. Some of the stories were good. Some maybe not too much, but overall I really liked this easy reading book.

Interesting listening to the audiobook of aged-old actors readings. Quite entertaining set of short stories that were enjoyable, clever and fun.

The last one, about the escape artist, was my favorite.
