Odd Partners by Allison
Brennan, Jeffery Deaver, William Kent Krueger – 4 Stars

Odd Partners is a
collection of 19 short stories by established authors. Each has a
mystery/suspense theme with a unique plot, setting, and characters. All have a
bit of surprise at the end. There are thieves, murderers, animal heroes,
political tricksters, and ordinary people. Even some of the supernatural is
included. None are boring and the good guy usually wins. Each story is
entertaining because of its diversity.
I usually prefer the depth of a
novel, but chose this anthology to read because it contained stories by recognized
authors whose books I read in the past. I was surprised how well each story was
developed and completed the book in a few days. It is obvious that the authors
included in this anthology are award winners and best sellers.
