レビュー要約
-
設定や題材の強さだけでなく、人物の揺れや読後に残る余韻を評価する声が目立つ。一方で、扱う主題の重さや癖のある語り口は読む人を選ぶ面もある。

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
