Most of these stories I really felt didn't work as short stories. Some were good but others I felt a little unsatisfied. The ones that left me unsatisfied lacked detail to really make me care about what happened to characters.

Ten authors made this anthology of murder mysteries. I will admit, some I skipped over and some I read with such intensity. It has a great mix for everyone who enjoys lovely, quick reads. Keep in mind there is not as much detail involved because these are…SHORT stories…and they wrap up quickly. If you don’t enjoy down to business reads, skip this one (but you’re crazy).
If you enjoy the nitty gritty, get right to the point, don’t drag it on mystery, pick this book up ASAP! I will admit, I’m not huge into certain genres, like scifi, but it’s OK. There’s a smorgasbord of fun still to be had! This would be a great book to read with a friend and just enjoy the quick tales. I honestly read this as I was reading multiple other books at once. It was a great filler for me because of the super quick reads. Sometimes short stories are well…long…these are not, finally…TRUE short stories!

Death Among Us is a collection of short stories that have been written by 10 different authors. Each author has contributed around 3 stories and each authors stories connect to each other. As mentioned this is a short story collection and to me the stories are to short to write individual reviews for them so I am reviewing this as a whole. Out of the 10 authors I have only read from one of them before and that was Robbie Cheadle. What she has contributed here though is completely different then what I have read before so it was something new.
Overall I enjoyed this collection of short stories but it was hit and miss for me. Some of the stories were a little to short and wrapped up way to quickly and easily for my liking and some of the stories I enjoyed so much that I wanted more. I do think this book is worth reading though.
