From the Publisher
"A welcome addition to the audio book library. Composed, recorded, and performed in an attractive professional format."
From AudioFile
Martin H. Greenberg, author and editor of short stories and anthologies, and Josh Pachter, mystery critic, have produced a collection of the most outstanding mysteries of their category. Ten imaginative mysteries are narrated by various performers, the best of which is SOFT MONKEY, performed by its author, Harlan Ellison. SOFT MONKEY is the 1988 Edgar Award winner, and Ellison's rough-and-tough portrayal of a streetwise bag lady hunted by the Mob for observing a hit is nothing short of gutsy brilliance. Since this driving performance appears first on the agenda, the subsequent narrations are colorless in comparison. Because these mysteries are so clever and intelligently written, the story lines salvage most of the performance handicaps. B.J.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
