A couple of years ago, I reviewed [[The Mammoth Book of Best British Crime 8 by Maxim Jakubowski]] and it was something of a frustrating experience. There were some really good short stories in there, from excellent authors, but they were padded out by a significant number of completely unmemorable ones. The latest in the series suffers from the same lack of quality control - if anything, the ratio of hits to misses is somewhat lower.
