I've read all of the puzzle lady novels and have enjoyed them all, but this one is not up to par. First, the cursing has escalated both in frequency and severity. Before, it was an occasional "he-- or sh--", but now it's gone to more unexceptable ones & pops up much more often.  This one is also too much about Cora. There is very little interaction w/the people who make the stories good. Her antics are way over the top & the solution is one that the reader couldn't possibly see coming. That's not all bad, I suppose, but it needs to have some line to follow & this is way out there. I'm about to start the next one, but if this style keeps up, it will be the last.

Decent read, but for those looking for the detail and excitement of the other Bosch novels, this one is not on par with the level we have become accustomed.

I have read all of the Scarpetta novels, but they are not as engaging as they were during the 1st ten or so.

I did not realize it was three novels.  The single novels from the series have more depth. These were okay but not as good as the others.

If you're after a comic collection that's fun or light, then this is NOT for you. Very wordy with far more writing than illustrations, it deals with finding a cure for death and the consequences of finding such a cure. With numerous (too many) flashbacks, I found it all a bit tiresome and ended up skipping some of the text. The drawings are OK but no more as far as I am concerned. Disappointing fare.

The JD Robb story was great, but the other stories just don't mix well for me. Not my style of stories and they just didn't seem to belong along side a Lt Dallas story. I would prefer stories more crime related, these others are no where close. It's a shame you have to buy the entire novel just to get the short stories in the Lt Dallas series.

I was surprised to find three shorter novels within the "book". While each was okay the first , Family Lawyer, was not up to Patterson's normal read.

It became disappointing to complete these so fast and then have to buy the next installment so soon. I would have much preferred to have paid a bit more for a consolidated installment. There is just not enough story development in each book to feel the purchase worth while.

I read most of these years ago and when young enjoyed them. Time passes and my tastes changed. Definitely not as well written as Tied up in Tinsel, Grave Mistake or Death of a Fool that are in another omnibus edition.

I am not going to be very kind. For one thing, I have called Dean Koontz my favorite author for some 30 years. I've faithfully purchased every book, recommended him to friends, and savored his books, even going back and searching out old paperbacks from when he used different pen names.

But lately, I am disappointed, and this book is one more reason. I am a constant reader and perhaps my tastes have changed. But I do not end up liking the characters as I once did, and often there is really very little action and an over abundance of analysis. And I have felt about the same way for most of the books sense the Odd Thomas series, which seems to have been turned into "graphic novels". Oh well, it's been a good run, and I may very well buy his next book, but it may be out of more habit then the anticipation I once awaited his newest work.

I found the plots of these novels to be quite slow-moving and for me, almost frustrating in their pace. It seems the author uses an awful lot of words to tell relatively simple, straight forward tales. I also became aggrevated at the constant reminder that the main charcter, a detective, had lost his memory in an accident and kept mentally searching for who he was before the accident as opposed to who he is currently. The chapters are a bit long for my taste and for convenience sake, could have been broken down into subchapters. I read before I go to sleep and the length of these chapters would tax me to read to the end of them. I prefer to reading sessions that last about 30-45 minutes at most, and these chapters would at times required in excess of 60 minutes to complete. Overall, I just found these novels uncomfortable to read and for this reason will not read any further in this continuing series.

I found a few good projects though not as many as I thought I would.  Lacking manly cards as usual and the quilling is too large and not detailed enough for my liking.

I had high hopes when I saw this new work set in the Hollows. Unfortunately, it was crudely drawn, the story was next to nothing...and really did not know how to create a tasteful sexual tension. Just not as good as her novels, not even as good as a short story. She needs to speak to Terry Moore to get a decent artist.

two short stories (as the title suggests), but the US$ per page ratio is underwhelming. too expensive - I'd rather wait for the next book instead

we have a good collection of Edw Gorey so I was looking for something new. this did not measure up to the great original work.

Not one of the better co-written novels by these 2 entertaining authors. I did finish the entire book, but knew who the 'bad guy' was from the beginning. More effort needed - these books just follow a formula. I was disappointed.
