4.0 out of 5 stars A great anthology!, February 14, 2010

I wonder if Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzini wrote their own vows?

The husband/wife team has compiled a great anthology that spans genres. We have a western, a detective story, and a supernatural tale in "The Carville Ghost". Not bad for 'western' release from Dorchester.

Each of the included pieces is outstanding. There is a 'Nameless Detective' tale by Pronzini (Wrong Place, Wrong Time), a Sharon McCone piece, "Irrefutable Evidence" (Muller), a Sabina Carpenter "Pickpocket" piece, and the charming "Carville Ghost".

My favorite piece is the Carville Ghost, yet "Dying Time" is a close second. This is one kickass collection every fan of great writing should read.

Thanks for these great short stories folks.

I am a fan of Marcia Muller and enjoyed the short stories
written by her and Bill Pronzini.
It is fun to have both authors contribute to the book and
there is even one story penned by both.

Apparently, the writer knows little about crochet. Perhaps when stating "crochet needles clicking" on page 61 of the paperback, knitting needles came to mind. Just FYI, crochet requires ONE hook. Knitting requires two needles. Research is required, even on the little things.
