Would you listen to Classic Crime Short Stories again? Why?

I enjoyed this overall. Some of the stories were better than others. I found myself skipping a couple of them, as they were slightly dull. But generally they were dark, funny, unpredictable, twisted and rather savage.

overall very enjoyable

A collection of unimpressive and uncorrelated short stores -whilst a couple are ok most are dull and and certainly not amongst the best the authors penned.
Hard to even forward to next story as chapters are not relevant and unnamed.

Don't wast your money or credit on this - a very poor offering curated by Audible.

Awful

Why ,oh why don’t chapters equate to stories?

As it is it is impossible to skip stories or locate start points

Chapters are a waste of time
