Critical Reviews
Diverse voices, settings, and premises make this a treat for fans of literate and inventive mystery fiction.-- "Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW"
The stories take off from their humble points of origin into spaces few would have predicted, as they explore the terrain most familiar and yet most mysterious of all: the geography of the human heart. Imaginations run loose in the best ways possible.-- "Kirkus STARRED REVIEW" (10/12/2022 12:00:00 AM)
Penzler's latest anthology of the year's best mystery stories, guest edited this time by Sara Paretsky, brings together short fiction weighted toward character-driven tales awash in psychological thrills. Mobsters, assassins, and executioners blend with conflicted and embattled everypersons, leaving no doubt that mayhem can slip into our tightest corners.-- "Booklist STARRED REVIEW" (11/1/2022 12:00:00 AM)
