Staged - Elle Cosimano -  2.5 Stars- Lyda, Dani - This may have suffered from being too quick. There’s only so much you can do in 43 pages so the mystery was figured out very quickly. (view spoiler)

The Reunion Dinner - Jesse Q. Sutanto -  4.5 Stars-  Josephine Ying and Family - Now THIS is how you do a short mystery. I was hollering in the car at the twists. And my jaw dropped at the conclusion. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Crime of Fashion - Emma Rosenblum -  2 Stars-  ??? - Way too many characters and they were boring. I will admit the fashion world is not my thing so it is difficult to get my interest.

The Nosy Neighbor - Delete This Series Name- Nita Prose -  3 Stars < /i>- Marge, Doris - This one had me messed up. Imagine living across from a psychopath (view spoiler)".

One Lucky Subscriber - Kellye Garrett -  3 Stars-  Kennedy, other players, “Kid” - Another meh story for me. The premise was interesting but the characters feel flat. I did like the twist though.

A Classic Case - Alicia Tompson -  3.5 Stars- Audrey, Grant, Mr Hoffman - This one leaned a lot more romance than thriller to me, even with the “missing” Character. The characters were cute and it was nice to learn a little something about them.

Fun little story! I do think there were a lot of characters which made it a little confusing for a novella, but also didn’t make the culprit super clear. I like Cosimano’s writing so much.
