A nice collection with a variety of flavours, like a pre-dinner charcuterie board of mysteries that will help you decide on the main course. I have heard / read the first few stories before (I suspect in a similar anthology of the genre) but they are worth re-reading and I wasn't disappointed.

One great story, a couple of good stories, and the rest, not so much. So it goes, with collections.

Like every good appetizer sampler at a fine restaurant, each little nugget of crime fiction has a flavor that is distinct as it is of high quality. From the horror of "Loopy", to the emotion of "Markhiem", to the side splitting antics of "Arsene Lupin in Prison" and "The Blue Cross", each is a primer in nearly all of the major sub genres of the writing that digs a deep well into humanities worse humors.
