Summary: Mysteries to Dine For
Review: A sumptuous literary repast.A delectable array of mysteries. An excellent anthology. The stories are for the most part excellent. From an Amish innkeeper to homeless New Yorkers from humourous to serious mysteries this book runs the gamut. A great read. A quick read. A fun read. And it had the added bonus of introducing me to some new mystery authors whose works I wish to explore. Well done and rare a feat almost as impossible in mysteries as in steaks. And the good news is that the profits go to charity to feed the hungry. Presumably without the poison.

Summary: Yummy Mysteries
Review: I really enjoyed this collection of short stories with a culinary theme. There is a recipe at the end of each story. I found great stories by old favorites like Claudia Bishop and Tamar Myers, and some stories by authors I am going to look for in the future. Myer's story was pretty good but not the best of the lot. I really enjoyed Just One Bite Won't Kill You, by Valerie Wolzien and Steak Tartare, by Barbara D'Amato. Quite honestly, there isn't one story in this collection that isn't worth reading. I love short story collections. It's like a buffet of different author's offerings, you get a little taste of each author's works. This collection left me wanting more of all of them.
