A pretty good collection, and I read two of the stories twice, after finishing it over NYE weekend. A couple were kind of boring, and I questioned why the O Henry selection was in there, but honestly? There's nothing especially vampiric about Neil Gaiman's "Snow, Glass, Apples," and that was an iconic inclusion in LOVE IN VEIN.
I love the opera. I love murder mysteries. I'm in! I have somewhat mixed feelings about anthologies, which can be a mixed bag. Here there are some stories that I would categorize as thrillers, rather than mysteries, but there were some winners in here as well- I specifically loved the Rex Stout story. A fun venture into the opera for mystery lovers.
