The Deadly Bride Edited by Ed Gorman and Martin H. Greenberg

Review by Theodore Feit

 

 

Not only does this volume feature 22 crime and mystery short stories, but the annual feature highlighting an overview of the year in  criminal fiction--from a comprehensive list of award winners to essays on the subject to obituaries of those lost in the last two years.

 

This collection features such writers as Jeffrey Deaver, J.A. Jance and Rick Mofina and a host of others.  The subjects vary, but the quality of the writing and stories is up there with the best.

 

If only for the yearbook, the volume is worth the cover price.  The short stories are icing on the cake.
