bookhawk's review against another edition
3.0
Anthologies of short stories seem inherently hit or miss and this one fits right there. There were several stories that really grabbed my interest led by William Kent Krueger and Craig Johnson stories along with Brendan Dubois, K. Magee, and C.J. Box. A solid 3 stars and recommended for those who wants change of pace.

Flight, Dot Rat, The Man From Away were the standouts for me in this volume.

A mystery needs to have an element of...mystery. A good WhoDoneIt is usually what you look for. Despite the title of this book, there are very few mysteries here. Only three of the twenty stories are actual mysteries. The others are crime stories, but not mysteries. I've downgraded my rating because of the false promises from the title.

This collections skews toward the hard-boiled, toward the masculine, but the two stories I liked most both have female protagonists:
In Trina Corey's Flight a woman with MS is the only one in her nursing home to realize that a killer is preying on residents.
In K. McGee's Dot Rat a widow who seems content with her quiet life finds a lonely, mistreated young boy hiding in her garden one night. Once her reluctance is worn away, she becomes a fierce protector.
