This is the second book in the City Jitters series and reads much like the first. There are several quite good short stories here and a few that are not so good. I was not so impressed with the British visitor to New York City who appears in both books.Jetlag can not be the only reason he is such a lost lamb in the all powerful city.
I am about to begin volume #3 which appears to be a collection of a few new stories and "the best of..." from volumes #1 & 2; some of these stories have rather trickily been reprinted with changed titles.
