This is a group of short mystery stories. Each story is by a different author but they all mention the murder in the first story, dropping clues so the reader can solve the murder. Of course there is a final story with the crime solved. Very entertaining!
I received an arc of this book and voluntarily provided a review.

Entertaining and interesting idea: First mystery story is left unsolved. Subsequent mystery stories by different authors contain clues to solving the first story's mystery.
