[Sylvia Snowe · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read the first four stories, then stopped. Truly amateurish writing. Don't bother reading it. Really.

A good solid collection of short stories. some were better than others, but all the more entertaining. They were all mysteries and crime stories. Even though I didn't know any of the authors in the anthology, I enjoy short story collection so I thought I'd take a chance on it, and I'm glad I did.I enjoyed it. I picked this book up that a thrift store for a dollar and it was definitely worth more than the price.
