Finished Joyce Carol Oates : Murder-two. Disappointing. A bunch of crazies.

Gillian Linscott : A scandal in winter. The title rings a bell ? Well, it's a Sherlock Holmes story. The ending was a let down, however.

Lia Matera : The river mouth. That was weird. Not a crime story exactly, a cult ? Weird.

Wendy Hornsby : New moon and rattlesnakes. Efficient, though not captivating.

Carolyn Wheat : "Ghost station". Not much of a crime story, rather an AA one. With Irish cops. Of course.

19th story - Barbara Paul : Jack be quick. Jack the Ripper ! I really enjoyed that story ! As to the victims being all prostitutes, please refer to the excellent non-fiction "The five" by Hallie Rubenhold.

18th story - Sharyn Mccrumb : A predatory woman. And predatory she was, indeed !

17th story - Kristine Kathryn Rusch : The young shall see visions and the old dream dreams. The name of the author looked familiar, but I must have read some of her Star trek novels ! Strange to see her in that anthology. Crime story ? Not so much. Did the old woman tell the truth or was her mind running the woods ?...

16th story - Sara Paretski : The case of the Pietro Andromache. Not bad.
17th story - Nancy Pickard : Afraid all the time. Very good, might have ended a bit sooner ?... But very good.

14th story : Jemima Shore at the sunny grave by Antonia Fraser. Not my favourite. Forgettable.
