Another IWSG anthology I enjoyed. The talent of this group never ceases to amaze me. This collection is a great introduction to the mystery genre if someone is unfamiliar with it. There are different kinds of mysteries all related to time in some way; plus other genres mashed in from time to time.

A Stitch in Crime- optimistic, female and ghost detectives, great intro to the collection- 5
Gussy Saint and the Case of the Missing Co-ed- gritty Noir tale, entertaining- 4.5

Once again, some of the best writers in the IWSG (Insecure Writer's Support Group) have pooled their impressive talents to create another fantastic collection of short stories that are well worth reading. This time, mystery is the name of the game, and time is of the essence. Each of the stories is uniquely enjoyable, and all I can say is: What do these writers have to be insecure about? They can WRITE!

Four and a half stars, rounded up to five.

Extremely enjoyable selection of short stories on the theme of crime and time. I felt there was one too many wronged wife stories, but maybe that's just par for the course. As usual with these things, some are outstanding. Kudos to all the authors! ...more
