“The Best Mystery Stories of the Year 2022 was a solid collection. I liked the description in the introduction of what was included:
"..I define mystery very liberally as any work of fiction in which a crime, or the threat of a crime, is central to the theme or the plot. This allows me to embrace detective stories (which is the first kind of mystery that comes to mind for many people), thrillers, crime fiction, and suspense."
And the stories included in this collection really covered a wide range of types as well as a combination of well known authors and some I wasn't familiar with before reading these stories. Most also included a note about where the author got the inspiration for the story which I thought was a nice addition. Some stories weren't a hit for me but that's the fun of a collection - just move along to the next! Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advance reading copy to review.”
