A diverse collection of mystery stories that creatively involve a jury or some sort. Most are well-written, with the quality ranging from excellent to average.

,
The first story (the P.D. James) was the most interesting one for me. After that, my interest dropped quickly. I did appreciate the inventiveness of the Christianna Brand story, but I had déjà vu reading the Dick Francis story and did not like the Celia Fremlin story. I'm glad to have borrowed this rather than bought it.
