Great idea for a book title each short story from a Jimmy Buffett song title.
Some of the stories are better than others Truck stop salvation, and Smart Woman in a Really Short Skirt, were both great. And some stories also stick to the storyline or loosely to what the song is about
Pascagoula Run and Who’s the Blonde Stranger.
Anyway a fun easy read.

Hotel California: An Anthology of New Mystery Short Stories
A collection of eight short stories. No introduction or summary, just the stories and a brief synopsis of authors. No apparent theme although murder is prevalent. The name is adopted from one of the stories.

A collection of mystery stories, each one related to a song or a piece of music. Although the opening story is by one of my favourite music/mystery writers, [[Bill Moody]], there was little in this bland collection that was memorable.

A collection is always going to be uneven, different writers, different voices, but this one holds together quite well with each story being solid. You'll have your favorites just as I did, but I think you will enjoy them all. The two writers with whom I was most familiar were Heather Graham and Jeffery Deaver, but I am now interested in looking up some of the other writers' works.
I tend to read a collection one story at a time, by which I mean I don't immediately start the next story, even if I plan to keep reading at the time. I will pick up one of the other books I am reading. I like to give the story a chance to sit with me before jumping into another story that might be thematically related and thus weaken the impact of both. That method works well here, these stories offer some things you might want to think about after reading.
