[Judy Sheluk · Rating 5 out of 5]

A compilation of 22 mysteries written by members of Sisters in Crime - Guppies, the stories are as diverse -- and interesting -- as the contributors. What I love about anthologies like this is that you can preview the works of established, new, and emerging writers. I was hooked from page one!

Fish Nets is similar to the previous anthology in terms of content and quality. The theme was "fish nets" in any capacity, and the authors delivered a variety of takes on it, everything from actual fish nets, to fishnet stockings, to fish.net. Amazing how many different things a single theme can lend itself to.
