    " This was a good collection for the most part. I likeed just over half of the short stories and Jeffery Deaver's was my favorite. The others were just ok with predictable endings and others were just dry reads. "

    " Transgressions was not bad, worth the few dollars I spent on it, but not highly recommended. I enjoyed most of the novellas but one or two of the ten were pretty awful. "
