"Although it's not a sequel to 2011's No Rest for the Dead, this
novel-by-committee is a very good followup. Twenty writers--among
them such notables as Billingham, Box, Bruen, Connolly, and
McDermid--combine forces. ... There are some stylistic variations
between the 20 authors--John Connolly doesn't sound like Charlaine
Harris--but, for the most part, the story moves as though there
were a single hand on the tiller. Not merely a genre curiosity, the
book is a well-told mystery that stands on its own two (or 40)
feet."--Booklist
"Inherit the Dead isn't the first book written by a group of
popular writers ... but this novel-by-committee has to be one of
the best. The novel grabs you in the first section and keeps
building.... It isn't often that you get to have so much fun while
contributing to a wonderful charity."--Connecticut Post
