I love mystery and crime short stories, as I feel like I'm reading eight different books in a short time.
A wide variety from a detective solving a mystery to paranormal activity.

On a side note, I have always wondered if hitting a bird would affect an aircraft (maybe it depends on the size of the aircraft?).

I like when authors care about their work and want to make it better. Not a fan of short stories but this one sounds interesting. Great job with the review.

It's great to see that terrific stories can still be written based on classic tropes. The author seems to have used a lot of imagination to write the short stories in this collection. Thank you for your great review!

With your review, you drew all of my attention. The author include something for everyone, and due to this, I will definitely read it. I loved your language and thought, despite the book's various stories, you did an excellent job of crafting a review that did not distract readers, but rather enticed them in it. You did an excellent job!

Nice review. This book looks like a lot of fun. These are most definitely my kind of stories. I'll keep an eye on it to see if it pops on Kindle Unlimited then gobble it up!

Also, it is worth mentioning the accuracy of the book's title, for I could not put it down. I loved a touch of dark humor in "Uri’s Full Bodied Wine." It lightened up otherwise quite a gloomy story. Unpredictability was another aspect of the book which I appreciated very much.
I love a clever title! And I think I can guess what's the secret to that wine... Although I also loved to be surprised.
Any lesser rating would be inappropriate for this book because of the solid and well-researched background behind every short story. The author speaks about winemaking, golf, or even space-time theories in detail, enriching the narrative. I didn't change my previous observations regarding the book since it was revised only from error correction point of view. 
You make a great point. It must take an outstanding amount of research to write stories about such varied topics and in different genres. I loved that you took the time of dividing the stories and recommending them for different audiences. Thank you!
