This short story anthology was primarily requested to read the Karen Odden short - Her Dangerously Clever Hands. The other stories were also enjoyable, and more of them than I was expecting. These kinds of Mystery stories are great quick reads that can be fit in when you want a good read but time is fleeting. They were all interesting in their own way, quite different in tone, and many of them quite clever.

A fun, fast-paced collection of mystery stories picked by John Grisham. There’s a great mix of styles—some dark, some clever, all entertaining. Perfect if you love a good twist and want quick reads that keep you hooked.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a review copy of these stories. I think this is a wonderful collection of stories and finished this book fairly quickly.

I think my favorite story from the bunch was "Home Game" by Craig Faustus Buck. I appreciate stories inspired by law enforcement ties and this story had a fun twist to it.

Overall, a solid collection of stories that can be enjoyed by fans of other genres not just us mystery fiends :).

This book is a wonderfully curated with a fantastic mix of short stories, each with its unique style and genre. I couldn't put it down! "Home Game" was a standout, but the whole collection is full of surprises. Some stories are mysteries, others have unexpected twists. You'll find everything from heartwarming tales to thrilling suspense – perfect for quick, engaging reads anytime. Highly recommended!
