Reseñas de la Crítica

"Each of the 11 short stories is cowritten by two popular writers and features protagonists from their previous works teaming up. Add a host of talented narrators into the mix, and the result is an eclectic, wholly unique audio experience for thriller enthusiasts and those new to the genre....this collection is so varied and consistently excellent that it's difficult to single out any one story."

Matchup review

I really didn't like most of the stories ...they seemed to end abruptly. But thus book might be someone else's cup of tea.

Nice Mix of Stories!

I enjoyed all the stories. Some narrators were better than others, but none of them annoyed me. Some stories we're very short, which I found a little disappointing.

Fabulous!

I am loving these thriller anthologies! Seeing my favorite characters and new characters that I don’t know combined has been such an adventure! Can’t wait to read the next one! The narration is top notch! You won’t be disappointed!

Favorite characters working together

I know the whole purpose is short stories but I’d love having longer stories where my favorite characters are working together

Spellbinding

I Originally purchased this because of the short story past prologue by Diana Gabaldon, but was totally enthralled by each and every short story. What a delightful premise. Having been an avid reader of many of the authors It was a delight to listen to all of the stories. I recommend this highly.

Engaging Shorts

I found Several favorites in this collection with drama, suspense and especially, footloose humor (hint).

Wonderful Way To Sample Different Authors

These short stories are super and blend the different characters into a beautiful web of tales!

Fun

I enjoyed the introduction to each story describing how the authors came up with their ideas and their writing processes. Engaging.

Good short story series. listen during commute. Can hear variety of authors working together. get past becoming monologues

Great Matchups!

What a wonderful anthology! This is a MUST READ for Outlander readers! Jamie Fraser and modern day Cotton Malone? Yes and it provides an answer to a question that has been plaguing fans for years! The other stories are all fun listens, too. All the performances are very good. I highly recommend this book!
