No Rest for the Dead by multiple authors

No Rest for the Dead is an interesting concept.
Several popular authors contributed to the plot of this engrossing murder mystery, each writing one or more chapters.

The story starts with the death of a philandering husband, an art curator whose body is stuffed inside an iron maiden torture device and shipped to a museum in Berlin. His hapless wife becomes the prime suspect. Each author throws in his or her unique twists and turns--and character shadings--and amazingly, it all flows very smoothly.

Among the authors who contributed were John Lescroart, Lisa Scottoline, Marcus Sakey, Kathy Reichs, and Alexander McCall Smith. So there's a good mix of writing styles.
