I enjoyed it. It introduced me to some new-to-me thrill writers. I look forward to reading their novels. I reviewed the book on my blog: https://heather-weidner.squarespace.com/blog/2014/7/27/faceoff-edited-by-david-baldacci
I forget when I read this, but it was someone around Nov/Dec 2015.
This is really fun. Each entry is a story co-written by two authors with their characters meeting each other and generally working together.
The highlights were basically all the stories, I liked all of them really, or at the very least there was no story I didn't like.
The Rollins/Berry story was great, but those were also the only characters I really knew.
There is also an introduction before each story telling how the stories came to be and how the authors worked together, which was a nice look behind the curtains of how the stories came to be.

Great sampler of the popular authors and characters in this genre. Enjoyed, but didn't finish. Will likely pick up again later.

This was fun and I discovered some new authors to check out!
I only read the Dennis Lehane/Michael Connelly story as these are the two characters I am acquainted with and have enjoyed immensely in the past. It is a great meeting of characters and the story has more going for it than some novels I've read.
This book sounded like great fun and I was hoping for an introduction to some new writers/characters. Unfortunately, the stories aren't long enough to get acquainted and I'm doubting even fans of these characters would appreciate these.
