The variety is entertaining, the brevity a challenge the authors rose to, and the theme has interpretations both lighthearted and serious that worked equally well. One of the better anthos I’ve read.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. there’s some really good stuff here By W Spice Not surprisingly, given some of the authors included and, as editor, Lori L. Lake’s imprimatur, so to speak, there’s some really good stuff here. Originally, I was going to comment on each story, but that got a little unwieldy, so I’ll limit it to the ones I most enjoyed.Elizabeth Sims’ story has the wise-cracking humor you’d expect if you’ve read any of her excellent Lillian Byrd novels. Not everything is fun and games of course. In an introspective moment, our narrator admits, “I’d pretended not to want to be liked so expertly for so long that most people took me literally and simply didn’t like me.” The ending is a tad cynical, too, but “Untold Riches” is still a very enjoyable read.“Colt .45” is different from Carsen Taite’s novels which feature attorneys, usually criminal defense attorneys. This brief glimpse of Luca Bennett definitely makes me want to check out the novels in which she’s the main character. Crisp, hard-boiled writing and an intriguing protag. Only complaint: not much drama or suspense; more of a confrontation between Luca and the bail-jumper would’ve been nice.I’m a great admirer of Andi Marquette’s work, and you can add “The Falcone Maltese” to the list, now, too. Fun, cute story. While the story lines of Marquette’s works are always entertaining and quite often compelling, her characters are the best part of her stories and this little short is no exception, showing – no surprise here – she can write credible, engaging YA characters just as well as she does adults. Wouldn’t mind encountering these two again somewhere down the road, with Jo joining Nattie in her future sleuthing as their relationship develops.Another very fine story – I’m beginning to realize the debt we owe our editors for bring us this excellent collection -- Linda M Vogt’s “Roar,” is based on an actual event. The skillful writing moves things along briskly and captures not only the women’s terror, but also the resolve of the narrator to get them out their dire circumstances alive. It’s also a cautionary tale worth reading. I’m sure I’ll sample more from Vogt at some point.VK Powell’s very brief “Just Desserts” hit home; it’s hard to think of anything I find more abhorrent than child abuse. What’s clever about the story, of course, is the open ending. Most mysteries are resolved by story's end, but not this one. Was Langley’s death accidental, or was the chocolatier français aware of the man’s deathly allergy to nuts, perhaps having overheard Cutter’s conversation with the bailiff? Will Syl reveal her suspicions to the detectives investigating Langley’s death? Will the ME find the death accidental? A lot of substance in such a small package. Nicely done.Lynn Ames “It’s a Dog’s Life” is based on the sort of literary conceit that would be a major fail in the hands of many writers but Ames executes it quite nicely. Even if the putative “crime” being committed here is a little off-the-wall, as are the perps, it’s a sweet story and, in a world that seems worse every time you read the news, a little sweet can’t hurt.Jen Wright’s “Lost” is a bit more complex than most of the stories here. While on the surface it’s a well-crafted adventure tale with plenty of suspense, the narrator also has moments of quiet introspection about the nature of friendship, among other things; Wright does a good job blending these two story elements. As a great admirer of the outdoors and a sometime paddler, the setting added considerably to my enjoyment.To say I absolutely love JM Redmann’s Micky Knight series is in no way an exaggeration. In fact, the visceral emotional impact of Death by the Riverside is what attracted me to fiction with lesbian characters – god, I hate the term lesfic! – in the first place. “The Curious Case of the Disappearing Dildoes,” as well as another short story featuring the same narrator, prove Redmann is equally at home with more light-hearted fare. To quote Faith from Buffy, The Vampire Slayer – was it really sixteen years ago? – this one’s “a hoot and a half.” Despite the tone, though, it’s still a well thought-out and cleverly solved mystery; the surrounding zaniness is simply lagniappe.As different as the parable of the purloined plastic pleasurers is from Redmann’s novels, Katherine V. Forrest’s “Jessie” is classic Kate Delafield save for the setting. And that means it’s very good indeed. Forrest’s ground-breaking Delafield novels still rank at the very top rung of police procedurals with lesbian protagonists and I don’t think it’s at all a disparagement to Claire McNab, Gerri Hill, Baxter Clare or Radclyffe to suggest that KVF’s series is, arguably, still the best. This new addition, “Jessie,” is every bit as good as the novels. As a pioneer in this genre, Forrest deserves to be included in any collection such as this.Again, these are my personal favorites and exclusion isn't meant to in any way imply the other stories are bad. If I omitted one of your own faves, mea culpa, and should we ever meet up, the Starbucks is on me.Kudos, as well as many thinks, to Lake and Chandler for bringing us such a fine collection of stories. Definitely worth your time.

This is an easy to read book with plenty of time to reflect on each story. Once you start a story you won't want to put it down but at the end of each story it's easy to complete another task and go back to reading when you want too. I recommend this to everyone it's funny and a delight to read.
