Joffe Books Murder Mystery & Suspense Short Story Collection Volume 2
Short stories by different authors. A great way to find out if you like the writing style, plot and character development displayed by each author. I like box sets like this for that reason. If I like the short story, I am more likely to search for other books by that author. Some of these stories were a bit hit or miss for me but overall a solid 3 stars for this box set.

Not too bad
there was a couple of quite good stories in this selection and one that was to say the least rather odd. On the whole though these were an enjoyable read.

On the whole an interesting collection. I struggled with book 3 and ended up going back to it after I'd finished the reason. I enjoyed the rest and read them through one after the other (except for book 3)
