Reviews

[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!

[Melinda Loomis · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.
