The first five stories in this book were not really mysteries, and while they did all have a kind of a twist at the end, I found the twist incredibly obvious in a way that made the whole story dull.
Of the remaining nine stories however, seven were true mystery stories of one type or another, ranging from reasonably entertaining to quite fun. The other two were of the non-mystery type at the beginning of the book, but with character arcs that made them fun to read anyway.
I would definitely re-read this book, but in future I will skip the first five stories.
