Miscreants, Murderers, and Thieves: a collection of short stories about devious behavior by Don Bapst, David Beeler, Shawn D. Brink
4.0
Miscreants, Murderers, & Thieves is a nice broad compilation of short stories that involve; murder, drugs, sex, mystery, horror, historical and just overall good story telling that can be read in one sitting.
This is a compliance of fourteen authors work, and they are all different but all good reads. My favorites were The Temperature at Which Love Freezes (this is probably my favorite!), Mercy in the West, Last Night in Quartzsite, Behind Those Veils, and The Scoop. So if you are wanting to skip around- I would read these ones first.
Overall, I enjoyed all of the stories that were written- each one had their own intrigue and mystery. Some had a nice little twist right at the end that I did not see coming at all. But it was the ending that gave you that smile and the comment, "well played" to the author.
I look forward to reading other complications like this, as it is a nice break from sitting down with a novel and committing time if you don't have it but want a quick read that makes you think a little.
Thank you to Sam W Reed for reaching out to me to read and review, as well as to all the other authors for adding their work to this compilation.
