I’m not sure how these escaped my notice
when they were first released, and now all I can say is wow. Seven or eight
months ago Crossroad Press released several novel collections, and they all
sound great. The on that caught my fancy is A
Murder of Mysteries. It features 20 novels by some of my favorite writers—

I have read five of these—Too Late to Die, Blood Moon, Dead on the Island, A Hard Day’s Death, and
Case File (a collection of Nameless
stories)—and really enjoyed each. A Murder
of Mysteries is available only as an
ebook, and the best part is the amazingly low price of $2.99.
Purchase a copy of A Murder of Mysteries at Amazon.
I ordered the horror II set. I haven't read much in it yet but am so excited about my purchase. What a deal. Thanks for telling us about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. What a deal! I've read a few of them, but there are so many other good ones here. I'm salivating!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Matthew. It is a screamer of a deal. There is also a Thriller set, and a couple horror sets that look really good, too.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you'll have to let me know how you like the horror set. There are some really good writers included.
