THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 2017 by John Sandford is part
of The Best American Mystery Stories series and is a
mystery suspense novel. Now in its twenty-first volume, each
year Otto Penzler, the series editor, chooses what he feels are
the fifty best mystery stories of the year and then passes them
on to a guest editor. The guest editor is always chosen from a
list of well-known mystery authors and chooses the best twenty
or twenty-five. This year it is John Sandford and he shares
with us an interesting collection of mysteries.
Some of these
are so bizarre. Some are so crazy that they could be a movie
plot. You will be drawn in from page one as you read along
with some intriguing and some bizarre mysteries that are sure
to keep you awake at night. They may even scare you so much you
have to sleep with the lights on and the doors locked. A
thrilling read that will have you on pins and needles as you
sit on the edge of your seat afraid of what is hiding on the
next page. The fear of the unknown and the curiosity of not
knowing will having you reading page after page as fast as you
can.
THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 2017 takes you from one
thrilling mystery to the next. Some will standout and stick
with you. While others are just too dark for you to wrap your
mind around. This is the first time I have read a book from
this series and plan on going back to read some of the others.
I recommend THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 2017 and
The Best
American Mystery Stories series for any mystery fans who
loves a good suspenseful and thrilling read.
Number-one New York Times best-selling author John
Sandford—“one of the great summer-read novelists of all
time” (Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly)—selects the
best mystery writing of the year that “will have you on
the edge of your seat” (USA Today).
“Some people might tell you that crime short stories, unlike
the more precious kind, are a kind of fictional ghetto, full
of cardboard characters and clichéd situations. Not true.
These stories are remarkably free of bullshit—although
there’s always a little, just to grease the wheels,” writes
guest editor John Sandford in his introduction. From an
isolated Wyoming ranch to the Detroit boxing underworld, and
from kidnapping and adultery in the Hollywood Hills to a
serial killer loose in a nursing home, The Best American
Mystery Stories 2017 hosts an entertaining abundance of
crime, psychological suspense, and bad intentions.
