A review by jess10adam
The Best American Mystery Stories 2005 by Joyce Carol Oates, Otto Penzler

2.0

Usually I love these compilations of short stories, but this one was simply depressing. It seemed like the main character dies in almost all of them. So you build up this attachment to the characters and then they all die in horrible ways. Some of the stories weren't mysteries either. So I would skip this one!
