Mystery's Most Wanted: The Year's Finest Crime and Mystery Stories

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16422 ratings)

Description:John Harvey, Lawrence Block, Ian Rankin, Anne Perry, and Peter Lovesey are just a few of the blockbuster mystery novelists who prove, in this smartly selected paperback, that they can also shine on a smaller stage. Mystery's Most Wanted offers more diverse pleasure for its low price than most collections. Harvey says that the occasional short story that he writes about his homicide detective Charlie Resnick (like the richly detailed "She Rote" in this collection) lets him try out themes for possible use in novels. Marcia Muller's gemlike story "The Holes in the System" pushes her usual star, Sharon McCone, to a back burner while McCone's assistant solves a case. And Rankin's Inspector John Rebus doesn't even appear in the mordant little nugget "Principles of Accounts," which begins with this gripping description of a kidnapper's work: "It began as a hobby. But then quite quickly the hobby became a career, and now he was a professional, taking a professional's care in the details of his craft..." Contents: She rote / John Harvey --Valentine's night / Nancy Pickard --The matchmaker / Sharyn McCrumb --The judge's boy / Jean B. Cooper - One night at Dolores Park / Bill Pronzini --When your breath freezes / Kathleen Dougherty --Principles of accounts / Ian Rankin --Mommy / Max Allan Collins --The end of it all / Ed Gorman --The holes in the system / Marcia Muller --Grace notes / Sara Paretsky --Dirty dancing / Carole Nelson Douglas --All that glitters / Joan Hess --The pushover / Peter Lovesey --Keller in shining armor/ Lawrence Block --The blackmailer / Anne Perry.edited by the staff of Mystery scene.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
