|title=Judges
|rating=4.5
|genre=Short Stories
|summary=I'll confess that it was the name of [[:Category:Andrea Camilleri|Andrea Camilleri]] which brought me to this book. I'm a long-time fan of his Inspector Montalbano series and a recent reading of a spin-off [[Montalbano's First Case by Andrea Camilleri|novella]] had proved to me that the concise nature of his full-length novels was no fluke. In ''Judges'' we had another novella - worth buying for its own sake - and the bonus of two more stories from better-than-decent Italian authors. All that was needed was a glass of wine and a comfortable chair. Did the book live up to expectation?

|title=The Wrong Quarry
|author=Max Allan Collins
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=To create a true anti-hero is no easy task. I have read plenty of crime fiction that reports to have an unlikable son of a gun at the centre of the story, but rarely are they actually that bad. You might get a detective with a gruff exterior, but a kind heart. Or perhaps a career criminal whose sense of morals are actually better than the cops. Thank goodness then for Max Allan Collin’s ''Quarry'' novels. Old school murder mysteries that have a hitman at their heart (usually pointing his gun at it).
