A nice diverse collection of stories with no real duds and some very good ones. It's tough to go wrong with such high caliber authors. Even though this is longer than the average anthology, it's a pretty fast read and none of the stories are boring.

I really appreciate the ARC for review!!

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC of Deadly Anniversaries.

I was excited when my request was approved; I love mysteries and recognized nearly all of the authors in this collection.

Still, I was a little apprehensive; a collection of stories is like a box of chocolates. I don't like caramel or coconut so I really end up only enjoying a few pieces.

But, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of stories here; most of them were good, some were just average, but overall, the stories were enjoyable, the writing shines through, and all the authors are respected and well regarded authors in the mystery/thriller genre.

I'm pleased to see there are about an equal number of stories by female and male authors, a fact seriously lacking in many story collections.
