Excellent stories. Each one offers something different. Among my favorites were Peter Robinson, who refects on a past crime, Sara Paretsky who writes a delightful baseball themed story, Michael Connolly who writes a straight forward mystery and a short story from George Pelecanos. I have not been a fan of Pelecanos's novels, but this short story is one of the best I've read in a long while. It isn't so much a mystery as a slice of life tale about a black urban youth trying to avoid trouble and the black Sergeant who tries to look out for him. George Pelecanos just nails the language & atmosphere. My least favorite was a story by Karin Slaughter. Her tale was a little too disturbing for me. All in all a terrific collection. Not every story is what some might consider a straight forward mystery. Some are reflections on disfunctional relationships and lost loves. I'm looking forward to reading the second volume of these shorts, also selected by Peter Robinson. ( )
