A great anthology

This anthology is one of the best eachbyear. Well curated and edited with excellent intros to each story.

Basic understanding

Everyone knows that “Dubois” is pronounced “Doo-bwah”. Except apparently the paid professional narrator AND copy editor of this book. Really….

Pretty Good

Another well chosen set of stories where I thoroughly enjoyed most of them. I wish there were more such collections

great and varied collection of crime stories

Much enjoyment listening to these suspense tales. Great narrators, surprise endings, psychological tales, good mix. I listened to it with a friend, and we enjoyed it very much. Nothing like a long mystery collection.

Very enjoyable!

Stories were very entertaining, well written and narrated.
Loved the mystery variations and interesting storylines. Highly recommend
