Customer Reviews

Nice alliteration!

Well, I chose this book because of the title... Now, I'm going to read it.

entertaining, engaging collection of stories

Thoroughly enjoyable story collection, most feature clever amateur sleuths such as the likeable Dr. Cory Cohen, a psychologist in "Silver is Better than Gold." Others feature professional detectives who, without their intention to do so are drawn into a puzzle. A few of the stories lack mystery, but manage to engage. One of my favourites is "Without a Trace," by Batya Swift Yasgur. As the old ad said,"You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy. . ."
