Murder New York Style

This is a collection of twenty-one short mystery stories having to do with New York City. Each story is by a different author and makes for a quick and interesting read with its wide variation of story settings and characters. I have never been to New York City, but was intrigued with the glimpse it gave into city life. What do a young girl, a bully and Edgar Allen Poe have in common? You'll have to read the story, Strike Zone by Terrie Farley Moran to find out. Or how about Mister Right by Ronnie Klaskin, where a woman makes a list of what kind of guy she wants and he suddenly appears in her life. Every story in the anthology is unique and entertaining. It's an impressive array of talent. If you like mysteries, I think you'll like this book, I did.

Shades of Ellery Queen

Good reading. I'd forgotten that I'd love the Ellery Queen magazine years ago and this was a good reminder.

Variety is the spice of New York life

One of the most enjoyable aspects to this collection of short stories is the variety of characters and locations depicted. The characters are from all walks of life from college professor to bellydancer, and each story is set in a different borough of New York City. Each of the short story authors is very familiar with their home turf, and half the pleasure of the book is recognizing neighborhoods you may have known. The plots are intriguing, too! I enjoyed this collection very much.

great read

the stories are well written and are new york to the core. I especially liked "a voice to remember." I recommend you buy it.

Ya Gotta Love These Stories

Great idea for a book, and great book -- for New Yorkers and those who aren't lucky enough to be New Yorkers. Since I grew up in the Bronx, those were the first stories I turned to, and they were terrific. They would have been terrific even I didn't know the very street corners mentioned, but with that added bonus, they were even better. Then, because my husband grew up in Queens, I read those. Also terrific. The details were so anchoring, the stories gripping. Then I skipped around, geographically speaking. Page and Cox were my favorites overall, but that doesn't mean I don't love da Bronx because I do, y'unnastan?
