Excerpt
Before I could read, my parents read to me, so I don’t recall a time in my life when I wasn’t losing myself in fictional worlds. On Mother’s and Daddy’s knees, I cultivated a passion for make-believe. I grew up with books as a staple and libraries as a second home. Reading was my favorite pastime as a child, and it became an addictive habit I never outgrew.

Review
With this anthology all the stories were short, fast-paced quick reads. I enjoyed the bulk of them, some more than others. With so many different authors we different writing styles, that's bound to happen.
I only skipped one story completely and skimmed a couple. But overall this anthology contains more hits than misses. Love is Murder is one to add to your summer reading list.

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy Sandra Brown but I'm not a fan of short stories. I'm glad you enjoyed most of them, but this doesn't look like the book for me. Hopefully, next time!
