Happy Friday everyone. This week I’ve got a series of mystery novellas for you, just in case you’re not quite in the mood for Christmas reading yet!
This is another of Amazon’s original story series, where they commission popular authors from across a genre on a single theme and then make them available for free to Kindle Unlimited subscribers and at fee to everyone else. The blurb for this one from Amazon is:
Every nosy neighbor, gossipy friend, and meddling relative is just one good mystery away from becoming a detective. From behind locked doors or out in broad daylight, driven by chance or curiosity, amateur sleuths get in over their heads in these six hair-raising, hilarious stories.
I’ve read two of the authors before – Nita Prose and Jesse K Sutanto and I have some Alicia Thompson on the to-read pile. But I actually quite liked all of these. I read them in order and sometimes with collections like this there is a weak link, but they were a really consistently good set. If I had to pick a favourite, I might go for Crime of Passion. I think the Nita Prose is the creepiest but there’s nothing particularly graphic or horrible – as the covers sort of indicate. None of them are particularly long, so they make a nice easy way of passing a few hours all together. And one of them ticked me another state off the list too…
As I said, these are Amazon originals, so that’s the only place to get them – the link to the series is here.
Have a great weekend!
