#TheBestAmericanMysteryandSuspense2023 #NetGalley
This year the introduction to the collection of best mysteries is written by popular author, Lisa Unger. She has a lot to say. Readers will also enjoy what Steph Cha shares as the editor of the series.
There are twenty stories in all. They evoke different moods, varying crimes and a wide variety of characters. Dip in and out to find favorites. Some of the authors were known to me so I went to those stories first. For example, there were tales by William Boyle, Joyce Carole Oates and S.A. Cosby. I then spent time with some new writers and was rewarded for that.
Don’t miss the section that shares information about the authors. It is intriguing to see who the writer of each story is.
In addition to the included stories, this title has a section titled Other Distinguished Mystery and Suspense of 2022. Get additional ideas of what to read there. Looking at the list makes me realize how difficult it must be to choose the stories to include.
This is a reliably good series. The new volume will be enjoyed for sure.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Mariner Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
