Acerca de esta escucha
Steph Cha, a rising star who brings a fresh perspective as series editor, takes the helm of the new The Best American Mystery and Suspense, with best-selling crime novelist Alafair Burke joining her as the first guest editor.
“Crime writers, forgive the pun, are killing it right now creatively,” writes guest editor Alafair Burke in her introduction. “It was difficult - painful even - to narrow this year’s Best American Mystery and Suspense to only 20 stories.” Spanning from a mediocre spa in Florida, to New York’s gritty East Village, to death row in Alabama, this collection reveals boundless suspense in small, quiet moments, offering startling twists in the least likely of places. From a powerful response to hateful bullying, to a fight for health care, to a gripping desperation to vote, these stories are equal parts shocking, devastating, and enthralling, revealing the tension pulsing through our everyday lives and affirming that mystery and suspense writing is better than ever before.
The Best American Mystery and Suspense 2021 includes:
Jenny Bhatt • Gar Anthony Haywood • Gabino Iglesias • Aya de Léon • Laura Lippman • Delia C. Pitts • Alex Segura • Faye Snowden • Lina Under, and others
Performed by Jennifer Sun Bell, Catherine Ho, Erin Bennett, Betsy Foldes-Meiman, Maxwell Hamilton, Dan Woren, Priya Ayyar, Kevin R. Free, Soneela Nankani, Natalie Del Reigo, Michael Crouch, Machelle Williams, Gustavo Rex, Jonathan Davis, Graham Halstead, Bahni Turpin, Khristine Hvam, Ryan Vincent Anderson, Robert Fass, Ramon De Ocampo

Be ready for some action, humor, and mystery in this anthology with short stories. You’ll listen about gangsters, witches, magic potions, interrogations, werewolves, and murder. Several stories have a murder victim, while others are all about theft or robberies. But in many cases, they spark the imagination and make up for a great way to sit back, relax, and read or listen to stories from a completely different world.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

Trucks that punish and beautiful teen demons who seduce a young man to massacre; curses whose malevolence grows through the years; obscene presences and angels of grace - here, indeed, is a night-blooming bouquet of chills and thrills.

NO mystery, NO suspense. I could only stomach the first six, and if they were the editors idea of good stories, I couldn’t believe what was coming would be any better.

Openly biased
Some weak stories. Rather than a guarantee of a diverse field of authors how about picking the best stories no matter who wrote them. Who cares about the sex or color or any other label someone might place on an author. You advertise the best stories so give them to us.
