Lawrence Block
3.1/5 ( ratings)
An ex-con undergoes a mesmerizingly sinister temptation in Lawrence Block's "In for a Penny." In newcomer Phil Lovesey's "Under the Knife, " an ex-patient puts his doctor through a terrifying ordeal. A woman and her friends tumble through a challenging rescue during the French Revolution in "The Escape" by Anne Perry. A paranoid rock star leads in a tale of unexpected discovery in Melodie Johnson Howe's "Killing the Sixties." Many of the characters portrayed in Creme de la Crime catapult through adventures culminating in stultifying twists.This compendium of mysteries features crime of various moods and high anxiety. Often suspenseful, deliciously haunting, and even delightfully satirical, Creme de la Crime offers more than your basic mystery, but if you desire a traditional whodunit, that's here, too, included within a satisfying group of stories of distinguished originality.

Incorporating elements of whimsy, turbulence, and enough stomach-churning suspense to satisfy the most hard-boiled mystery reader, Creme de la Crime is documented excellence, chosen and edited by Janet Hutchings, written by winners of the world's top mystery awards.
