    " I got this book to read the story by Victoria Houston. I enjoyed that one, but didn't finish most of the others b/c they were not my style. "

    " This is a collection of short stories which I don't normally like, and I only got this because it had a Dana Stabenow story with Kate Shugak. That one was pretty good, but the rest are violent, gory and repelling. Won't be searching for more by any of those writers! "

    " There are some good stories here, esp. the last few, but it's wildly uneven. Some of the fishing descriptions are off, too, but that's a minor issue. There are a variety of genres here, but they fit together well in the collection. "

    " Some very good stories and some not. If you're a fan of fishing or mystery this book of short stories will appeal to you. I like most of them, especially the one from William G. Tapply, who recently passed away. He will be missed. Cheers. "

    " This is a collection of stories from various authors which include the sport of fishing in them. This just underscored for me that I am really not all that interested in fishing, but the stories were all interesting and well-written, so they were worth the read anyway. "

    " Interesting collection of mysteries with unifying theme of fishing. Dana Stabenow effortlessly creates her Alaskan backdrop with Jim Chopin and Kate Shugak involved in investigating a possible crime in Cherchez La Femme. Wonderful fundraising book, authors donated their royalties. "

About the Authors

T. Jefferson Parker is the author of numerous novels and short stories, the winner of three Edgar Awards, and the recipient of a Los Angeles Times Book Prize for best mystery. Before becoming a full-time novelist, he was an award-winning reporter.

Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) was born in Odense, Denmark, the son of a poor shoemaker and a washerwoman. As a young teenager, he became quite well known in Odense as a reciter of drama and as a singer. When he was fourteen, he set off for the capital, Copenhagen, determined to become a national success on the stage. He failed miserably, but made some influential friends in the capital who got him into school to remedy his lack of proper education. In 1829 his first book was published. After that, books came out at regular intervals. His stories began to be translated into English as early as 1846. Since then, numerous editions, and more recently Hollywood songs and Disney cartoons, have helped to ensure the continuing popularity of the stories in the English-speaking world.
