This is a wonderful book! I read mystery anthologies by the hundreds and collect them (once I've read a book, though, it gets sold or traded). Of all those books read, this is one of the finest.

I love stories from the 80s, when the norm was still for stories to have plots and make sense.

This book contains one of my all-time favorite stories, Linda Barnes' "Lucky Penny." Many of the others would make a list of my favorites.
