Miscreants, Murderers, and Thieves: a collection of short stories about devious behavior by Don Bapst, David Beeler, Shawn D. Brink

5.0

Miscreants, Murderers, & Thieves is a collection of 13 short stories mind-altering mystery/crime stories. Written by 13 different authors with pronounced style and writing. It’s like nibbling the short stories that leave a charming taste in your mind.

From quirky, witty to heart-wrenching stories of people. As the title suggests, you have all the elements present in these stories. The common denominator is the characters that are pleasant and invigorating.

Few of my favourites are,

Murder at the magic castle (tops the chart) a police detective solves a 25-year-old murder,
Last night in Quartzsite, a gas station robbing ends with a blinding twist,
Beneath these walls (this one is a sci-fi) a man’s quest save the planet by selfless his actions.
The scoop, a popular teen sensation faced with a dilemma and in a moment acts with kindness.
Tada!, like the superhero show The Flash. The antagonist talks about fooling the lightning-fast superhero.
Each story presents a scene, and the twists come with them are surprising. They take you on a journey. You immerse in these stories and flow with them. Each of the writers has a distinctive writing style. The stories are different but together in the book they bring out a flavourful taste.

Miscreants, Murderers, & Thieves is a book full of marvellous gem waiting there to read. I recommend this book for crime fiction. It’s a gem that deserves a spot in your bookshelf.

Thank you, Samuel Reed, for giving me a copy of this amazing book in exchange for my honest review.
