I’m not usually a fan of short stories, but I’m in the middle of a bit of a cozy/1920s reading jag, and thought I’d give it a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised. Interesting stories that don’t need the series’ knowledge to make sense. I’ve gone on a bought a couple of the series and I’m looking forward to Carolyn L. Dean’s “Jazz and Gin Cozy Mysteries”.

One horrible, typo riddled short story ruins this collection

Pamela Welsh's "Mercy or Murder" is riddled with typos and grammatical errors, besides being an unresolved mystery. I started taking screenshots of the errors so I could list them, but it got tiresome after a while.

The other stories were good, though if saccharine stories aren't o your taste, thre proposal featured in the Piccadilly Ladies Club Mystery short story may be too much.

I am thinking of checking out Emily Queen's new series when it comes out in April. Interesting introduction of her main characters.

Fun reading

This is a nice little collection of short stories. A couple of the stories are similar in cast of characters, but the stories are all different. I enjoyed them all.

Well written. Entertaining.

Enjoyed the anthology. 😊 I like the ease and flow. Relaxing as something you can read a bit of before you sleep.
