Many of the books I read are from my local library. If I bought every book I read, I would have gone bankrupt years ago. Public libraries were created to provide reading material for everyone. I am so glad that I have gotten to work in a library for many years.

However, one of the places I read is on my husband’s boat. I often steer the boat as he fishes, but there is time to read. After dropping one library book in the drink, I have always tried to have one of my own paperbacks available for our trips.

I picked up this collection of mystery stories because some of the authors were familiar and some were new to me. All were entertaining, so overall I am glad I read this anthology.

My only complaint is my own fault. I have found that it is better not to read a lot of short stories at one time. They blend together in my head and I am not sure what I have read. Since this was the only book available to me and I had a lot of reading time, I got tired of people dying. As I said, this was my problem, not the book’s.

I will be looking for more mysteries by Kate Charles and Kerry Greenwood since I liked their stories and I had not read them before.

If you like short mysteries and want to experience a lot of different writers, this anthology and all of the series would be right up your alley.
