Customer Reviews

Great antholology of short mystery stories

Aside from the first story, "Dream Lawyer," I enjoyed all of these short stories -- they're well-written and most of them have a nice twist in the plot. This collection is a fairly fast read, but a page turner!

OK

This collection of short stories is about people that are not involved directly with law enforcement who try and help to solve crimes. Sometimes it is good to read a short story anthology to familiarize yourself with authors who might not be on the best seller list. Most of the stories are fairly average and do not really stick out. The best story in the collection is John L. Breen's Four Views of Justice. The author takes a page from Faulkner and writes a story told by five separate characters all in the first person. Mr. Breen pulls it off brilliantly. Other short stories to watch out for are 'The Bad Boyz Klub' by Doug Allyn and 'The Oath' by Marilyn Wallace.

A definite must-read!

This is one of the best mystery anthologies I have ever read! The stories are well written and contain twists that will have you thinking about the story long after you have moved on to the next one. If you like short, engaging suspense stories, you will love this book.
