The selection offers an engaging opportunity to experience the writing of new authors and old friends. And as happens with collections of short stories by various authors, we will enjoy some more than others..
A new author I really enjoyed was written by Vaseem Khan called 'Blind Justice' offering the most delightful characters and situations. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed.

'Blind Justice' is just delightful

I loved these stories. In the last story there is a lesson many could do with learning. The narrator add to the story with her very expressive voice. I also rather like the one about the reporter. While the stories themselves are great they are enhanced by a superb collection of incredible narrators. A very enjoyable listen.

I really enjoyed all of these stories. They were short, the narration kept me glued and except for one story, I was satisfied with all the endings.
