While mostly predictable, I liked the role reversal many of these pulled.
Really excellent collection of murder/crime stories. All were atmospheric and suspenseful though a few had twists that were a little too obvious (which is all that kept the anthology from being five stars). Still, there wasn't a bad story in the bunch. Paul Finch's two stories "Skeleton Crew" and "Overtime" were both easily standouts, so much so that I'm immediately going to start reading his novels. Also, really good was the closer "Confession Time" by Stella Whitelaw and the two Judy Gardnier stories: the terrifying "The Truth about Agnes" and darkly homourous "The Game." Definitely worth a second or third read.
