Ian Rankin calls it "A must-have collection of the hottest crime stories around." Some of its stories have won prestigious awards such as the CWA Dagger and many of them have earned reprints in Year's Best anthologies of various genres.

This Eleventh in the series has 14 stories including Nina Allan's first ever crime story. Quoting reviewer Gayle Surrette's verdict in Gumshoe "... read through the stories for each is a gem of tight writing and will pull you into a world you'll pray you'll never enter in any other way but via fiction." www.gumshoereview.com/php/Review-id.php?id=2628

A longer quote from reviewer Gayle Surrette's verdict in Gumshoe " As to the ghosts, some of the ghosts are those of regret and memory while some may actually be ghosts seeking revenge, redemption, retribution, or absolution. It's up to the reader to decide just how each story relates to the issue's theme. Keep the lights and read through the stories for each is a gem of tight writing and will pull you into a world you'll pray you'll never enter in any other way but via fiction."
