Review Summaries
-
Readers tend to value not only the strength of the premise but also the emotional movement of the characters and the lingering aftertaste. The weight of the subject and the distinctive voice can also make it demanding for some readers.

MWA Grand Master Margaret Maron, Edgar Award winner Tom Franklin, and New York Times bestselling novelist Ron Rash headline a new anthology of 21 tales spanning from traditional detective stories to comic capers to darkest noir and more-something for all tastes. Murder Under the Oaks is published in conjunction with Bouchercon, the World Mystery Convention, held in 2015 in Raleigh, North Carolina-the City of Oaks. As with the convention itself, the anthology spreads a broad canopy across a wide range of crime writers from across the country and around the world-including both veteran writers and the brightest up-and-coming talents in the field. Several of the stories in Murder Under the Oaks draw on the region's history and culture-including the birth of a secret society at the University of Virginia, a mystery from Edgar Allan Poe's childhood days, and a series of less-than-welcome visits by everyone's favorite hometown sheriff. All participants contributed their efforts to support our charity-the Wake County Public Libraries-and by extension readers and writers everywhere. All profits go to the library.

Five Stars
Loving it so far.
-
A very nice variety of plots and writing styles
The foregoing questions are not relevant. The book has several short stories brought together in this volume. A very nice variety of plots and writing styles.
-
Outstanding
A fine collection of short stories with with something for everyone. Each have a good pace, dialogue and nice action.
-
Half and half
Half were interesting but half were predictable so not much of a mystery. It gives you a sample of authors you might want to of and skip those you don't.
-
Mostly a good read
