They are not all crime stories but they are all entertaining. I especially loved the short stories that had you guess how the crime was figured out. I found myself laughing out loud during a few of the stories. I loved that this was a quick read and still kept me entertained. I do not think that all the stories fit the title of this book and all of them did not appeal to me; however, I think any mystery reader could find some humor in at least a few of these stories. I’m not sure it is worth paying more than the $0.99 on Kindle for it, but it was a great book to borrow from the library. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
