    Enjoyable collection
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020*

I like a good mystery and this anthology has a good mix of who one it and how. I look forward to checking out some other titled by Maxim Jakubowski.

    Worthy collection
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021*

Though I much prefer the style and setting of the short story mysteries from the Golden Age, this modern collection can be easily recommended.  There is no information on the publication dates of the stories in this book, but the plenty of references to Uber (and something like Uber Eats), tablets, and mobile devices indicate that we have left the Victorian and the pre-WWII world well behind.For starters, many of the stories are led by an investigator who follows a typical, modern crime scene procedural and the plots rely heavily on the forensics team and their evidence combing through the post mortem; what were the contents of his stomach, analysis of dried blood, DNA samples, etc.  I am not a huge fan of these CSI type episodes as they become too official and therefore too bland for my tastes.  I want literature, not a police report!As the book progresses, the stories become more varied in tone and style.  Two notable entries worth mentioning are The Last Thing I Do and Whatever Remains.  The first is about the investigation of murdered members of a King Author historical society, told in a whimsical style with plenty of metaphors and allusions to that Anglo Saxon and his pantheon.  The second is a mixture of detection and sci-fi where the policeman investigates a murder at a university.  This one left me tense and in angst for a very long time.There are plenty of rejects too.  The Window is a silly escapist romance about a time travelling girl while exploring a castle in Scotland; it does not belong here.  The Fire Inside has a mix of sci fi and stereotypical American private "dick" including a distressed damsel but fails to deliver due to the author's lack of technical background in explaining scientific principles.  Other stories are somewhere between mildly interesting and forgettable.
