    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The very premise of it was exquisite. I am a voracious reader of mystery novels and have my favorites. Characters developed over years of serial stories, such as Bosch, Davenport, Reacher, etc. The short story format was very entertaining. Pairing seemingly incongruous personalities was enjoyable. But the finest reward was to be exposed to new characters that I knew nothing about. I feel as if a treasure trove of reading has been opened to me. I thank all the authors for their contributions. Now on to the reading!!

    Seems to be an interesting concept, yet most of the "faceoffs" get very bogged down attempting show each protagonist strength. Very difficult to stay interested, much less involved, even with the characters I really like.

    Wish zero was an option. What a money-grubbing rip off by some of my favorite writers. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
