When Mickey gets a call from a colleague named Arlene Robinson, she thinks nothing of Arlene’s unusual request for her to go inventory the vacant home of an arms dealer who cheated ProEye’s clients and fled. That is, until she arrives at the mansion to discover a dead body in a secret room—and that nothing is as it seems.

Great idea to have iconic characters from different authors in the same story. Very easy and interesting listen. The readers kept my attention through all the different stories.

a mixed bag
This accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is to get characters together in the same stories . . . and some succeed better than others, no surprise. Its worth a credit for sure.

Not all are created equal...
The best was saved for last. The rest were in the mediocre to "I-saw-that-coming-a-mile-away". I always fall for these and hope that some day one will really be worth the listen from start to finish.

A great mix of Thrill Writers
if you are a Thrillers fan, this book is for you. All your favorite characters are in a dozen short stories. It let's you sample various writers working together to mix their favorite characters into scenarios working with other famous characters.

some good stories
I don't think I like this one as much as I like the revenge anthology that I read.. some good stories, some kind of boring.

This was a fun, quick and easy book to listen to. The Reacher story was at the end, leaving me craving more.

Great concept but only so-so for me.
I liked the idea of collaboration between writers but it didn’t really work for me because I’d never read many of them and knew nothing about the characters.
I enjoyed several of the stories but felt like I was missing something.
If there was a Scot Harvath/Jack Reacher story or something similar, I’m sure I’d have enjoyed it more.
I’ve got to either start a bunch of new series or just move on. 🥹
