Unusual Suspects: Stories of Mystery & Fantasy

by Dana Stabenow

Unusual Suspects: Stories of Mystery & Fantasy Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"This follow-up to Powers of Detection (2006) breaks no new ground, but offers 12 stories with enough well-paced variety to keep readers happy. In Charlaine Harris's notable Sookie Stackhouse tale, 'Lucky,' one insurance agent's good luck makes him a target. A 'resurrected' Humphrey Bogart is murdered in Carole Nelson Douglas's 'Bogieman' while Santa Claus investigates the murder of an elf in John Straley's 'Weight of the World.' On the lighter side, a divorce gets used to a menagerie of ghostly housemates in Sharon Shinn's 'The House of Seven Spirits' and a young woman confronts a cave dragon turned loan shark to solve her father's disappearance in Laura Anne Gilman's 'Illumination.' Strong tales outnumber the weaker ones by a considerable margin and will satisfy fans of both genres." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
