Faye Kellerman has long been one of the Queens of the mystery genre. Her novels and short stories have delighted, and challenged, countless readers to discover the answer to her literary puzzles. Kellerman fans, and fans to be, will be enchanted by The Garden of Eden and Other Criminal Delights, an audio collection of ten of Kellerman's best short stories. What makes this collection especially exciting is that the audio edition of this anthology is read by a variety of stars, including Dennis Boutsikaris, Nancy McKeon, John Rubinstein, Roger Rees, Lindsay Crouse, Theodore Bikel, and Gabrielle de Cuir.

The stories in this collection are:

The Garden of Eden
The Back Page
Bull's-Eye
The Stalker
Malibu Dog
Mr. Barton's Head Case
Luck of the Draw, written with her daughters, Rachel and Ilana Kellerman.
Open House
Mummy and Jack, written with her son, Jesse Kellerman.
Holy Water

Several of the stories in this collection are previously unpublished, and many include several of Kellerman's favorite characters such as Peter and Rina Lazarus and Cindy Decker. This collection includes both crime fiction and traditional mysteries, and each illustrates why Kellerman is held in such high regard as a mystery writer.

Please note: This book is also available in a large print edition. The print edition appears to differ from the audio edition in that the print edition also includes a couple of additional short stories and several works of non-fiction.
