When you choose stories for an anthology, I think you have to choose a representative sample of different types of stories to please various subgroups of your audience. And the result is very few people liking all of the stories. I really liked Aida and Antarctica. I liked several others. And a couple I didn't like starting with the first paragraph.

The stories in this collection are neither the best nor are they mysteries - it does demonstrate, however, how the tastes of an editor can really stank up a project. Blech.

A bit of a mixed bag. Some of the stories were very good, but about half of them I couldn't wait to speed through. None of them were "mysteries" as I normally think of the genre.

This collection veers heavily toward hard-boiled detectives and gore. Not my cup of mystery tea, but I'm sure others will enjoy it.
