As an avid reader - over 150 books per year - thrillers and books with suspense in them are my favorites!! As a long time advocate of the International Thriller Writers website, I LOVED and HIGHLY recommend this anthology.
First of all, it allows you to sample - like a Chinese food menue - different authors. Then, if you like the story, you can search Amazon for additional works by that Author.
I've discovered some new authors this way, and have had HOURS of fun.
Run - do NOT walk - and get this book. I'm certain that you too will find many hours of enjoyment within its covers.

There are a few reasons you should read this book. First, it is likely you will get a taste of the writings of authors you otherwise would not have ever tried.
Second, there are variations here on what defines a "thriller." Don't be prejudiced by your own definition of the term -- read these with an open mind to possibilities.
Third, if your life is as hectic as mine, it is great to be able to dip in for 20 or 30 minutes and enjoying a complete quality story; there are many of them in this collection.
Finally, many reviewers here write about how the collection was weak except for... and then they name the few stories they think were best. Peruse the reviews and you will see they are not all the same few stories... all in all, most of the stories were enjoyed by someone here! Which is to say that the lower ratings are because of TASTE, not QUALITY. Enjoy the breadth, indulge in your favorites, and don't be deterred by the selective ratings of the reviewers here.
A quality anthology -- can't wait for Vol 2!!

Several mystery/thriller authors have gotten together to form a new professional organization and this book is a very first - a thriller anthology. Thirty thriller writers have contributed short stories; James Patterson introduces each author and his/her story.
The settings are varied - France, England, New York, old west and anywhere the writers' imaginations take them. The time periods vary - anywhere from the 1700's to present day. I confess I started a few of the stories and had to skip to the subsequent one. But most are quick reads with a twist at the end. I hope to see another book from the group.
Rated by buyers -
Great read for both old-time thrill readers or anyone new to this genre. Short stories from some of the best "thrill" writers around. Many of the writers use characters that they have developed in their other books. A must read for anyone that enjoys a good "thrill". Thanks to James Patterson (editor) and the International Thriller Writers, Ltd. I hope they are willing to put together a Thriller II.
