Two Envelopes And A Phone’s Reviews > The Best Crime Stories Ever Told > Status Update

I can only reiterate that no matter how good one might find any of the stories here, this was one ill-advised anthology. It's called The Best Crime Stories Ever Told...but then, after six Crime stories (that I would say are far from the best ever told), it turns into twenty Horror tales. There is no way to rate this book highly; you can't label a book a Crime anthology, and the serve up mostly Horror & Supernatural!

‘The Prayer’, by Violet Hunt, was a bit of a recovery from what’s been going on in this book for a while, and as depressing as it was, I liked it a lot. This book is relentlessly perplexing…most of the stories are Horror stories, not Crime tales. The title of the book is completely misleading. It does taint one’s attitude to the book.
