4.0 out of 5 stars
For the Keating fans,
By Miran Ali "I don't like anonymous reviewers" (Dhaka, Bangladesh) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Verdict of Us All (Hardcover)
An anthology of short stories published by the members of the Detective Club on occasion of the 80th birthday of the late HRF Keating, the doyen of crime fiction writers.
The stories are of a mixed bag. Some quite entertaining and others not so much. The book's really for the fan of HRF Keating, rather than for a layman looking for a good collection of crime short stories.
