Another Gem from Lawrence Block

Mr. Block has done it again - collected a bunch of stories that hold one's attention. Further, Ms. McDougal and Mr. Weeden do a wonderful job of bringing the characters in the stories to life. While I was familiar with some of the contributors -- Robert Silverberg, Jill D. Block, Parnell Hall, Annette Meyers, and Lawrence Block himself -- it was a delight to meet others, like Tom Callahan and Eve Kagan. And the Keller story at the end was the usual gem.

If "Noir," or even "Noirish" is your thing, definitely pick this one up, especially in the audiobook version.

Too much foul language for me

Stories had merit.

Some good narrators.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
