I found this to be a bit of a roller coaster ride. Some stories and authors were very good, others mediocre and a couple verged on the diabolical. Whoever compiled the anthology obviously struggled to find short crime stories to sit under the ‘Midsummer’ umbrella as several were not even tenuous in their content.
Overall a little like a normal British midsummer - patchy sunshine with some rain and one or two dreadful thunderstorms.

This book was quite a mixed bag. Some stories felt very underwhelming whilst some were chilling, with it getting better in quality towards the back of the book. It felt like a long read at times but generally had some good short stories.

I was enjoying this book and the stories were good, but I just wasn't motivated to read this and it's not really summer anymore, so the vibes aren't the same. Will return to this next summer, though.
