Thanks Kappy for a great review. I went back and read your review again after I finished the book. Death's Door was my favorite story in the collection, although I enjoyed reading all of the stories.

Thanks for the kind words, bookowlie. Death's Door was indeed an excellent murder mystery.

Great review. I really enjoy story anthologies that are well done. I also like it when you can't figure out what is going to happen because of intelligent writing. This will have to be added to my To Read list. :)

This sounds like an amazing story and I am eager to dive in and read it. It sounds like something that I would typically read and short stories are always a guilty pleasure. Great review!
