The Best American Mystery and Suspense 2021 by Steph Cha, Alafair Burke
dark
slow-paced
3.0
Read for the Read Harder 2022 prompt: 26. Read a “Best _ Writing of the year” book for a topic and year of your choice. Could also fill the prompt: Read an anthology featuring diverse voices, but I have another book picked for that one.
I guess that this was a fine anthology. There were stories that were great and stories that were not. But my main gripe with this is that very few of them were actually mysteries. Sure, it’s mystery and suspense, but the suspense stories weren’t all that suspenseful either. A lot of them read just as contemporary fiction. So pretty disappointed.
