'Blind Justice' is just delightful
The selection offers an engaging opportunity to experience the writing of new authors and old friends. And as happens with collections of short stories by various authors, we will enjoy some more than others..
A new author I really enjoyed was written by Vaseem Khan called 'Blind Justice' offering the most delightful characters and situations. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed.

very enjoyable
I loved these stories. In the last story there is a lesson many could do with learning. The narrator add to the story with her very expressive voice. I also rather like the one about the reporter. While the stories themselves are great they are enhanced by a superb collection of incredible narrators. A very enjoyable listen.

Stories to make you cry
You will cry. I made it through the first three. First story is really not nice tbh, second kinda better, third was nice but ended in happy tears. You’ve been warned

Well worth a listen
An enjoyable selection of both stories by accomplished authors and famous actors turned narrators. Has a story by my favourite author, Katie Fforde, too which is the main reason I downloaded it and I decided to listen to all of the others too and I'm glad I did, they didn't disappoint. Worth a credit and even better as it was a free one!

A mixed bag!
Loved some not so much others. but they were all good in their own way. Good way to see if you like a certain author, but really needs to be a bit longer.

Great, but misleading title
I don’t think these are stories to make you smile... Most of them are really sad. They’re great, just promoted badly.
