Publisher's summary

“This brilliant anthology of short stories by some of the most outstanding women now writing mysteries and crime fiction...is a truly glorious collection” (Globe and Mail)

New York Times best-selling author Elizabeth George has gathered nearly two dozen chilling, boldly original stories, each published for the very first time in this outstanding collection.

In addition to tales from some of today's top stars — including Laura Lippman, Susan Wiggs, Marcia Muller, Carolyn Hart, Nancy Pickard, and Elizabeth George herself — Two of the Deadliest showcases work from an impressive array of exceptional newcomers, as together they explore the dark depths women and men will sink to when driven by passion, avarice, and a lethal hunger for power.

Just Plain Boring

Some of these stories end with no understandable conclusion- some are just riduculous. Elizabeth George can write the most wonderful stories herself, but choosing these for this collection wasn't her best move. None of them were compelling enough to really keep my interest.

Not mysteries

These short stories are not mysteries. They are "modern" type short stories where nothing happens. One of the joys of the mystery is the resolution!

I feel duped!

Anything with the name Elizabeth George on the cover will be purchased immediately! I actually purchased this book a few years ago, then my vision got worse, so I was excited when I saw it available on audible.

What a disappointment. I understood the short stories were not by EG, but I thought they would be up to the same standards.

These are short stories that I guess are supposed to make one think; all they did for me is make me hit the STOP button after the 4th in a row of boring stories.

Not worth a credit and definitely not worth spending money on as I did...

It is such a hassle getting a refund, but I think I am going to put the time in to get my money back on this one!
