This was the perfect book for when I was suffering from Covid. I'd lost interest in reading novels, s dipping into these short stories was just the cure.
This was certainly a diverse selection of stories, even though the theme was crime. We met up with a few familiar faces and for me some new ones that I will start investigating more of.
A cracking read.

I'm not a big short story or anthology reader to be truthful but this collection of crime fiction, written by authors who are members of an excellent Facebook group, was for charity and I couldn't resist. The 22 stories all have their merits and it was great to be introduced to many authors that I'd not read before although my personal favourite was Mission Accomplished by Tony Forder and I'll certainly be looking at many of the other authors featured in the future. Definitely recommended.
