A review by melissadeemcdaniel
Odd Partners: An Anthology by Anne Perry, Jeffery Deaver, William Kent Krueger, Allison Brennan, Jacqueline Winspear, Charles Todd, Georgia Jeffries
4.0
This collection of short stories by established writers (although mostly new to me) has a few stories that tread well-worn (but still pleasing) paths, and a few surprises.
Anne Perry, Charles Todd and John Leonard add short stories from their familiar time periods and settings. Don’t expect Maisie Dodds from Jacqueline Winspear, though. Her contribution is quite a ways outside her familiar zone!
The premise, bringing together an unusual partnering to solve or commit a crime, resulted in some entertaining story concepts, and I will be looking for longer length works from several of the authors.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
