Fun set of short stories from a collection of mystery/suspense/thriller authors. I've heard of and faithfully read about half the authors involved here. As with any collection of short stories, some were better than others. My favorites were done by the pairings that included Karin Slaughter, Steve Berry, JA Jance, surprisingly the one that involves the vampire (can't remember the author's name). It's nice to be able to sit down and read something in 20 to 30 minute snippets sometimes too.

I like these books because they are a good way to get to know new authors. The short stories are like a buffet where you get to try a little of everything.

MatchUp is an excellent anthology of short stories. I discovered some new thriller authors to try and enjoyed the writing by some favorite authors.

A borrowed book from a coworker, I'm a little surprised at how many authors I haven't read. I knew Sandra Brown existed but have never read her work. I think I have a slew of new mystery authors to read! Great short stories. Not a one of them was boring or uninteresting.
