I am not much of a short story fan, even mystery short stories. Several were fun.
This is quite an assortment of stories by multiple authors. As far-fetched as some may seem, all are based on real incidents that happened in the State of Florida.While it is expected that the reader will like some of these stories better than others, I recommend that you not skip over any of them.

As an interesting collection of short stories by authors such as Lawrence Block, John MacDonald and Susanna Calkins. All the stories are set in Florida and involve a variety of interesting characters and plots.

A collection of stories set in Florida with its unique flavor. Many are really good. Some of my favorites are "There's an Alligator in my Purse" by Paul D Marks, "The Case of the Missing Pot Roast" by Barb Goffman, "The Fakahatchee Goonch" by Jack Bales.
I loved the stories and how they captured my lovely, beautiful, sultry and mysterious state. However, there were some serious mistakes in some of the stories and I was disappointed that they weren’t captured in the editing process.
