And the cover is very pretty. I’m midway through the second story, and the anthology as well as this particular story are buidling nicely so far. And the cover is very pretty.

I loved, loved, loved, Annalise. Sandy: I think you'll really enjoy it. Readers do have to be willing to roll with the scandalous back story of the parents - and if they can, I think this is a top-notch anthology. Wouldn't be surprised to see any of these stories up for best novella during next year's RITA awards....... Pam: Yeah, I liked all of the stories, but the Marlowe entry was the real winner for me.

You can tell that the authors spent time together to flesh out the back-story, and cultivate the characters. It really shows, and IMHO, this anthology reads more like a full-length novel as opposed to a series of a short stories. I'm hoping we see more stories about the Fitzmannings. There's still 3 unattached brothers, and the sister-in-law from the McCabe story who need to get hitched :-) Phyl:

I still haven't read it yet, and I must make time for it. It sounds very promising.
