The Little Professor: The Best American Mystery Stories: 2006

The Little Professor: The Best American Mystery Stories: 2006: "The anthologies in The Best American Mystery Stories series rarely showcase 'conventional,' plot-driven mysteries, of whatever variety; instead, as guest editor Scott Turow notes, the spotlight falls on 'crime--its commission, its aftermath, its anxieties, its effect on character' (xiv). One does not, in other words, pick up a book in this series and expect to find the Old Man in the Corner."

I'm probably breaking some kind of rule already, but since I'm lazy, I thought it would be cool to link to The Little Professor's reviews of a whole volume of short stories rather than do a review of my own.
