Great mystery shorts, all set around books. Some great authors, and a solid performance. Thanks.

Great mysteries

Liked the variety of settings and characters, the mix of American and English settings and the gripping story of “The Scroll”.

Ingenious stories about the power of books

Out of the whole collection perhaps 3 had decent plot lines.
For the most part the stories are trying to hard to be ‘twist in the tail’ plots, or else trying to be enigmatic and mysterious with vague unfinished seeming endings, but for me they just don’t land right.

Truth be told I should probably have cut my losses after the first couple, but since it is a collection of short stories by different authors I kept going in the (mostly forlorn,) hope that the next one would be better.
I interspersed them with a few other books, with decent storylines, to break the tedium, but overall this was a waste of a credit and of several hours.
I will definitely NOT be buying volume 2!!

Utterly awful collection. Waste of a credit!!
