This book contains a collection of short stories by Lawrence Block. I wanted to like it. There are several short stories, each standing independently from the others. Each story starts an interesting mystery, they are well told. But the story stops just as the mystery is getting interesting. Nothing is resolved, no one gets caught, NOTHING. I had wondered if it was abridged and had a bad editor, nope, it wasn't abridged.

This is a good one to skip. ( )
