3.0

This was a lot more enjoyable than I expected it to be. A perfect book to dip into for light reading.I thought I'd only like one or two stories and the rest would be filler, as anthologies often are, but almost all of the stories were fun and interesting, if not exactly mysterious. Standouts were John Connolly (so good!) and Laura Lippman, both of whom I've not read before. The Anne Perry story was the only one I disliked but that would not come as a surprise to anyone who has read her books. A story that could have been weird and creepy is let down by utterly dull prose. Academic jealousy and secret writing dreams and ambitions are also nicely explored in the two stories by Andrew Taylor and David Bell.
