It was a pretty good collection, with a pretty good selection of stories. As with any collection there were a few I didn't like so much, but on the whole thought the tales were well selected. There were a few typos in the edition (which always annoys me more than it should). I don't read a lot of crime fiction (it's not my favourite genre), but this set of short stories reminded me why it's so popular, and how much variety there can be within it.
