Dear Lord, this collection is dire. Out of the 16 stories, I only liked 3 ("Beauty is Only Skin Deep" by Gallagher Grey is the clear winner; the others I enjoyed were "The Stupid Pet Trick" by Margaret Maron and "Up the Garden Path" by Joyce Christmas), and of those 3, I only really liked one enough to look up more of the author's work. The other stories are outright stupid, or full of awful, homicidal narrators, including one who takes gleeful joy in killing her JB Fletcher character over and over again in her books. (WTF??)
I skipped the ~big draw~ story by Anne Perry because yeah, no. An actual murderer who moved to another country and remade her life into a successful author is not someone I care to support.
There's a third volume in this series (More Murder, They Wrote) and I'm both curious and dreading to find out if the quality continues going downhill. ( )
