review 1: There were some very clever and subtle stories in here. Sometimes I had to think about how they related to lust and greed, but I don't mean that as a criticism: the authors had come up with some unusual and thought- provoking tales which made me think a bit. In many, the situation was not what it seemed at the beginning of the story. I'm really impressed that the writers could get such a lot into relatively few pages. Although obviously some appealed more to me than others,I don't think there was a single story I didn't like. I really liked the fact that Elizabeth George had included 5 stories from otherwise unknown or little known writers. In fact, no disrespect to the other writers, but the story which really sticks in my mind was from one of the "newbloods", not fr... moreom the established authors.
review 2: I listened to most of the selections but did not complete three of the short stories. One reader was particularly abrasive, loud and aggressive and it was not a style that was good for me. I couldn't really listen to the story as the voice was very off putting. There were about six really good stories out of 23 in the collection. I really enjoyed the story about Jack London and his death. It was a story that i had not heard and kept me fascinated. I was disappointed in Elizabeth George’s story because I usually find her a very good novelist.The collection of new and experienced authors did not work for me. I would recommend The Copper Bracelet by Deaver if you want to listen to a collection of mystery writers. I give this a three stars rating. less

An entertaining collection of short stories by some of the best female mystery writers of the day.

If Elizabeth George had not edited, would probably not have finished. Was not impressed.

hmmReally not in the mood for this. Read the 1st 2 stories, but then put aside for now.
