5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Anthology. Bravo!! 28 Mar 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Some people say you only get what you pay for but in this case that would be wrong, why? Well, you get a hell of a lot more for your money!

13 stories of crime, thriller/suspense and mystery by some of the best in the business, for one very low price.

Let me tell you that Stephen Gallagher's "Poisoned" is worth the price of this anthology alone!! The last page of the story made me gasp and I continued to think about it for days later...

Ed Gorman's "The Baby Store" is perhaps set in the future and is a very clever story that pulls your heart strings but may leave you hating the lead characters...

Harry Shannon's "A Handful Of Dust" is a typical Shannon, a gritty noir style story about a hit man who has the tables turned on him and finds out what real fear is about...

Bill Crider's "Death's Brother" was a cool story where a university teacher helps a young female in his class but he will pay a price...

Lee Goldberg's "Remaindered" features an author on the downward slide but he takes advantage of a young female fan and looks to a book to get himself out of a sticky situation...

I could keep going but I urge you to try this very well priced anthology for yourself before I ruin the stories for you!!

Apart from three authors, i'm embarrassed to say I have not heard of the rest as I normally read more horror fiction but after reading this Ebook I will be looking for more stories from the authors featured in this anthology. If your worried about spending money on an author you have not heard of don't be because there is not one bad story here.

I hope they do another like this in the future.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Collection! 28 Mar 2011
By Rhonda
Format:Kindle Edition
I don't read many anthologies, but this one may have made me a believer. I'm a big fan of Harry Shannon and Lee Goldberg, so in my opinion, the price is a bargain for these two authors alone. However, the 10 other authors proved to be just as worthy in their own style. I planned to read a story a night, but found it nearly impossible to put down. I finished it in two nights and now have new authors to look forward to reading. These 12 are truly masters of suspense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspense Written Right 28 Mar 2011
By Sarah W
Format:Kindle Edition
When I first sat down with this anthology I only intended to read one or two stories before getting some work done. I thoroughly enjoyed "Unreasonable Doubt" by Max Allan Collins, so I took a peek at the next story. And the next.

After an hour and a half of "just-one-more," I'd read the entire anthology.

If you need an example of truth in advertising, Top Suspense will do the job! Each memorable story evokes a strong reaction, whether humor or horror, noir-weary despair or holy crap shock. Several work a combination and some of them manage all four. My reaction to the reveal in Ed Gorman's "The Baby Store" led the lady sitting next to me in the café to ask if I was all right (I wasn't sure).

There's something for every suspense fan in this anthology, from noir to crime to borderline horror. If you aren't particularly fond of the genre, this anthology might change your mind. It's a great introduction to suspense written right.

(Full Disclosure: I received a copy of this anthology in advance for review purposes)
