My old man:
Tough.
Cruel.
Merciless.
And that was on the weekend when he was happy. If a psycho could do happy.
His cop buddies said,
"Frank, Frank is just intense."
Right.
Other kids go,
"My dad took me to Yankees."
Mine, he took out my teeth.
With intensity.

My Thoughts:
Bibliomysteries Volume 1 is an anthology of 13 short stories centering around a book, library, or bookstore. It is a collection of various mystery stories - some are murder mysteries, but not all. I'm not always in the mood for short stories or anthologies, but I like books about books. I listened to each short story separately. Some stories were excellent, while others didn't impress me much. But altogether, I would say it is still an audiobook worth listening to. I would rate content 3.5, rounded to 4. If you are a fan of mysteries, here is your chance to find some new authors to read.
The narration was very good. One narrator did all those different voices.
