Mysteries are, perhaps, the most moral of genres offering us justice and hope for our society and our future no matter, how dire the current situation
December 7, 2022 at 11:44 a.m.It was another banner year for crime fiction with gripping stories that allowed us to examine our lives and the issues that drive society in 2022. A number of authors brought their diverse voices to the mystery genre as Black, Asian, Native American, Hispanic and gay/lesbian writers showcased their culture, backgrounds and concerns. More authors also mix other genres into mystery plots, including supernatural, horror, science fiction and others.
The Edgar winner delivers a meticulously researched, unflinching look at Eliot Ness, his failure to catch a serial killer in Cleveland during the1930s and his exaggerated reputation in taking down Al Capone. Yet, Stashower shows empathy for Ness, who wasn’t quite the hero portrayed on TV and movies and was often overwhelmed by his attempts at sleuthing and by his own legend.
These outstanding stories by new and established authors were culled from myriad anthologies and other publications. Each author offers a bio and tips on writing the short story.The Eagles’ haunting song “Hotel California” certainly lends plenty of fodder for this tidy collection that follows the trend to wrap an anthology around the works of a musician, a movie or a specific album.
