Simon and Schuster and Net Galley allowed me to read this one for review (thank you). It will be published June 13th.
Mr. Child asked various authors to participate in writing a short story with another author. They could chose which of their characters to use. Some of the women even knew who they'd like to work with. Each story in this group is great. Some of witty, some punny; all are full of tension and suspense. This is one anthology where I can say I enjoyed every one of the stories.
Here is the list of stories:
-Lee Coburn and Joe Pickett in “Honor & …” by Sandra Brown and C.J. Box
-Tony Hill and Roy Grace in “Footloose” by Val McDermid and Peter James
-Temperance Brennan and Jack Reacher in “Faking a Murderer” by Kathy Reichs and Lee Child
-Jamie Fraser and Cotton Malone in “Past Prologue” by Diana Gabaldon and Steve Berry
-Liz Sansborough and Rambo in “Rambo on Their Minds” by Gayle Lynds and David Morrell
-Jeffrey Tolliver and Joe Pritchard in “Short Story” by Karin Slaughter and Michael Koryta
-Harper Connelly and Ty Hauck in “Dig Here” by Charlaine Harris and Andrew Gross
-Regan Pescoli and Lucas Davenport in “Deserves to be Dead” by Lisa Jackson and John Sandford
-Lucan Thorne and Lilliane in “Midnight Flame” by Lara Adrian and Christopher Rice
-Bennie Rosato and John Corey in “Getaway” by Lisa Scottoline and Nelson DeMille
-Ali Reynolds and Bravo Shaw in “Taking the Veil” by J.A. Jance and Eric Van Lustbader
As you can see, there are some pretty powerful characters and authors here. You recognize the teamwork when you see the stories. This is almost like getting a birthday present for me. Favorite authors with brand new short stories. How could I not like it?
