Twin Cities Noir: The Expanded Edition by

3.0

Twin Cities Noir from the Akashic Noir series was a fun and light read, of special interest to those local to or familiar with Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The quality of the tales varied, some were lacking in proofing and others in cogent storytelling, but there is likely something here for everyone. William Kent Krueger’s story Bums was the most compelling piece in the fifteen story collection (the expanded edition has three additional stories that were not a part of the first release). For a beginner to the genre, this collection served as an ample gateway into the Noir-iverse.
