Customer Review:
These superb twelve new tales focus on the convergence of mystery and suspense inside a fantasy realm. The stories are all well written, holding up nicely to its predecessor collection (see POWERS OF DETECTION). Charlaine Harris provides a Sookie entry while Simon R. Green returns to the Nightside... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

I loved the few stories I have read so far. They are quick and smart. I thought Louis L'Amour was only a cowboy author...boy was I wrong. | 5.0 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Candy Cane Murder
from Kensington
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
The book contains three short novels by three different authors. I loved each novel because a)each one centers around Christmas, b)is a mystery, and c)is light-hearted. Each novel is easy to read, but not too simple that is does not hold one's interest. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Powers of Detection: Stories of Mystery & Fantasy
from Ace
Customer Review:
As with most anthologies, it's a grab bag. Some of the stories were good mysteries. Only a couple of them were the kind of short stories that are one small step up from poetry in the navel-gazing, see-how-clever-I-am category that makes me hesitant about the whole idea of short stories. I bought... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Vintage
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
Huge anthology (well over 1000 pages) reprinting pulp crime stories from the 1930-40s. There are also 3 full length novels here too. A lot of the popular authors of the genre are here (Cornell Woolrich, Raymond Chandler, Mickey Spillane) along with quite a few unknown authors. There are some just OK... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Rumpole Misbehaves
from BBC Audiobooks America
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
I have always been a fan of this series, and Mortimer obviously puts the professional liars (excuse me, legal profession) precisely where they belong in the larger scheme of things. Horace Rumpole really seems to be one of those timeless figures in English fiction who just keep on going. This... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
