“Another great, musically inspired group of short stories! While I throughly enjoyed the 3rd in the series, Hotel California is my favorite by a long shot. About to start Thriller, so we will see if that changes! Rock n’ Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution, Givin The Dog a Bone, Let Me Put My Love Into You, Shake a Leg, and Back in Black were great. Each told a gripping mystery with a really unique twist on the song title. I had these “Ah-ha!” moments when I could connect the song title to the story. I really wanted to love You Shook Me All Night Long, which is the Jack Reacher short story, I just needed more Reacher! Overall solid collection!”
