This review is from: More Oddments (Five Star First Edition Mystery) (Hardcover)

There is no forward, or preface to this book. There is a nice copyright page in the back of the book. The print is nicely done too. This book has 14 stories. They are: Fergus O'Hara, Dectective; Chip; Opportunity; A Craving for Originality; One of Those Cases (A "Nameless Detective" Story); I Didn't Do It; Quicker Than the Eye (with Michael Kurland); Angel of Mercy; Connoisseur; Mrs. Rakubian; Smuggler's Island; A Taste of Paradise; Under the Skin; Prose Bowl (with Barry Malzberg). I did not like the Prose Bowl or Craving for Originality stories. The rest were a good mix of stories set from the Civil War to the future. I haven't read any of these in any other anthology so far and that's a first for me.
