Pretty disappointing. One stand out story by Achy Obejas; the rest fairly meh.

A couple of stories read well, but most of these read like literary Writers (all of them with a capital "W") trying to write genre.

I have never visited or been to Chicago but I have read a lot of books that were set there. I cannot say Chicago is on my top list of place to visit but I was intrigued enough to pick up this Noir. This collection turned out to be a bit underwhelming for me. I felt a lot of the stories didn't give me a good feel of Chicago. Regardless, there were a few stand out stories that I loved, see below:
1. Goodnight Chicago and Amen by Luciano Guerriero
2. Destiny Returns by Achy Obejas
3. The Great Billik by Claire Zulkey
4. Alex Pinto Hears the Bell by C.J. Sullivan
5. Death Mouth by Amy Sayre-Roberts
