A varied, satisfying anthology!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Overall, anthologies tend to be somewhat less satisfying than full-length works by a favorite author. Within the constraints of the short story format, there is often just not enough time for character development and plot-spinning that is so integral to most novels. However, true artists of their craft are able to shape both a short story and a novel to create a satisfying read. In this collection, Margaret Maron (a widely read author herself) has brought together an accomplished cast of writers (Nevada Barr, Amanda Cross, Mary Daheim, Jonathan Gash, Edward Hoch, Susan Holtzer, HRF Keating, Susan Kenney, Alanna Knight, Janet Laurence, Miriam Grace Monfredo, Abigail Padgett, Lynda Robinson, and Sister Carol Anne O'Marie) and assembled a menagerie of stories sure to please almost any mystery reader. Give this book a try...you'll probably discover a few old favorites, as well as finding a few new possibilities.
