For full disclosure, I have a short story in this anthology. I've also had stories in past anthologies by the Sisters in Crime Guppies Chapter. This one is, IMHO, the strongest so far. There wasn't a dud story in the 23 tales of grifters, con artists, and their marks.

The book is also well edited. In the entire read, my only quibble was with one comma, which probably says more about me than the book.

It's always fun to read anthologies because I get introduced to many new authors with these short stories. This was an interesting set, with focus on scammers and con artists who get their comeuppance (sometimes!) This was a gift from a good friend so I may not have chosen it otherwise. Nice to get exposure to new things.
