1.0
Turned me on to some new writers. Good stories overall.
The above sentence is from when I read this in 2015. Not sure why I was reading it again this year, but I've downgraded from three stars to one, and I'm not finishing it a second time.
In theory, it's a good premise: Get the authors of the most popular detective/thriller series to pair up their main characters for crossover stories. In practice..... not great.
First off, if you haven't read the series of the 20+ different authors, you may not know what the hell is going on in the stories. Second, if you were planning to read any of the series but haven't yet, there are some VERY significant spoilers in these stories!
I got about halfway through it again, then ditched it.
