the stories were all different although in my opinion some were better than others, some weren't criminal at all, some were really good, I liked guessing who might've done what, there were a few that I didn't totally get and j didn't like the ending but otherwise most of the stories were pretty good.

Right up my alley. Bite sized stories about crimes, murders, or just unfortunate events that unfortunate people stumbled into. A few weren't as good, but overall most were very interesting and the perfect length.

Probably 3.5 stars - short stories are quite a skill, and there were undoubtedly some excellent ones in this collection. But also a few that didn’t really spark my interest (or even sometimes have much in the way of crime). A good mix of cultures though, which gave it a fresh approach.
