A review by meferguson75
Manhattan Mayhem: New Crime Stories from Mystery Writers of America by Mary Higgins Clark

3.0

I received an advanced reading copy with 4 of the short stories from Goodreads Giveaways. The 4 stories included Nancy Pickard's "Three Little Words," S.J. Rozan's "Chin Yong-Yun Makes a Shidduch," Ben H. Winter's "Trapped!" and Brendan DuBois's "The Day After Victory." I have read and enjoyed many of Nancy Pickard's titles before and this short was no exception. i can and will recommend anything of Ms. Pickard's. The other three authors were new to me and I especially enjoyed the voice of Lydia Chin's mother in S.J. Rozan's short story. I will be reading more of Ms. Rozan's work. Mr. Winter's short play and Mr. DuBois's short story showed the breadth of this anthology - which included plays, thrillers, historical noir, straight mysteris, cozies and more all set in different New York City boroughs. Definitely worth reading the entire anthology!
