"The Deadly Bride and 21 of The Year's Finest Crime and Mystery Stories!"

"The Deadly Bride and 21 of The Year's Finest Crime and Mystery Stories" is a collection of 22 crime and mystery stories by  the following authors:  James W. Hall, Nancy Pickard, Jeffery Deaver,  Sharan Newman, J. A. Jance, F. Paul Wilson, David Morrell, Rick Mofina, Marcia Talley, Mike MacLean, Wendy Hornsby, Stanley Cohen,  Robert S. Levinson, Neal Marks, Simon Brett, Sue Pike, Peter Tremayne, Jeremiah Healy, Kim Harrington, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Craig McDonald, and Anne Perry.   This type of book is one of my favorite for bedtime reading because I can finish a story without staying up all night reading a book that has me hooked.  I like stories with a twist at the end and there are several of those in this anthology.  Some of my favorites were Nancy Pickard's "There Is No Crime On Easter Island," Jeffery Deaver's "Born Bad," and Sharon Newman's "The Deadly Bride."   One with a unique spin and rather interesting premise was Simon Brett's "Cain Was Innocent."  Check out this anthology for some varied reading. pazt
