Summary: “Some people might tell you that crime short stories, unlike the more
precious kind, are a kind of fictional ghetto, full of cardboard characters and
clichéd situations. Not true. These stories are remarkably free of bullshit—although
there’s always a little, just to grease the wheels,” writes guest editor John
Sandford in his introduction. From an isolated Wyoming ranch to the Detroit
boxing underworld, and from kidnapping and adultery in the Hollywood Hills to a
serial killer loose in a nursing home, The Best American Mystery
Stories 2017 hosts an entertaining abundance of crime, psychological
suspense, and bad intentions.
The Best American Mystery Stories 2017 includes C. J. Box, Gerri Brightwell, Jeffrey Deaver, Brendan DuBois, Trina Corey, Craig Johnson, Joyce Carol Oates, Peter Straub, and others.
Angie’s comments: A good collection of mysteries that will keep readers
entertained. Each story has a different spin.
Recommended for readers of short mystery
stories.
