A review by dcox83
The Best American Mystery Stories 2007 by Otto Penzler, Carl Hiaasen

4.0


This well written collection of short stories include tales of murder, rape, blackmail, sociopaths, kidnapping, deception and betrayal. Stories unfold through the eyes of the victims, accomplices, children, innocent bystanders and the murderers themselves. Because of the variety of characters, each story comes off as unique and fresh.
It's the perfect book to keep around when you feel like a good mystery but don't want to devote a whole novel to one.
