Matchup

Finished August 18
Matchup edited by Lee Child, read by Laura Benanti, Dennis Boursikaris, Gerard Doyle, Linda Emond, January LaVoy, Robert Petkoff, Jay O. Sanders, CJ Wilson, and Karen Ziemba

This collection of thrillers pairs male and female authors and also their characters. I found it great fun to see how they brought the characters together for the stories, and thoroughly enjoyed the plots the authors came up with. Here are the author pairs included:
* Sandra Brown and C.J. Box
* Val McDermid and Peter James
* Kathy Reichs and Lee Child
* Diana Gabaldon and Steve Berry
* Gayle Lynds and David Morrell
* Karin Slaughter and Michael Koryta
* Charlaine Harris and Andrew Gross
* Lisa Jackson and John Sandford
* Lara Adrian and Christopher Rice
* Lisa Scottoline and Nelson DeMille
* J.A. Jance and Eric Van Lustbader
Lee Child introduces the collection as well as each story, giving information on each author and how the pair came up with the plot and an overview of the writing process. There were definitely interesting matchups and a wide variety of situations. Some authors I hadn't read before, and others I was very familiar with.
A great collection of characters and plots.
