ReviewsOtto Penzler's entertaining new anthology Bibliomysteries puts a book or books--or a bookstore or library--at the heart of 15 engaging stories., Readers who love books will love reading about books, the people who love them, the people who kill for them, and the people who kill with them--often the very same people., This anthology presents a balance worth recognizing and a welcome addition to the library of any book lover, with our without bloodshed., The tales feature books and bibliophiles, and the best of them is easily John Connolly's 'The Caxton Lending Library and Book Depository,' which won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Short Story. Hot on its heels in terms of quality is Thomas H. Cook's 'What's in a Name?' The remainder of the collection is almost universally enthralling. A must for mystery shelves., The subtitle says it all--except to note that contributors to this hefty anthology include some of the most admired contemporary writers of mysteries and thrillers., One of the best crime anthologies I've encountered in a long, long time. Bibliomysteries is a two-fold celebration of what makes books great. Penzler has done it again with this one., Fifteen tales with an impressive range--international thriller, whodunit, hardboiled, and contemporary Western-- with a single unifying theme: books and the people who love them. The quality of the tales is unusually high and it is the best anthology I've read all year., For years, those in the know have been savoring the latest 'bibliomystery' commissioned by Otto Penzler's Mysterious Bookshop and penned by the luminaries of the crime world. Now, a new omnibus collection brings these gems together between two covers. A necessity for serious crime fans., An anthology featuring short stories by the best of the best writers of mystery and suspense, including winners of the Edgar Award, Bibliomysteries edited by Otto Penzler deserves a place on every fan's bookshelf., The 15 distinguished contributors to Penzler's welcome sequel to 2017's Bibliomysteries all provide creative variations on this reprint anthology's theme--mysteries set in the world of books. A must for mystery fans and book lovers., An entertaining collection of 15 original stories of bookish mania and mayhem--written by some of the most stylish crime-fiction authors in the U.S. and U.K., A welcome anthology for bibliophiles. It features 15 tales with an impressive range--international thriller, whodunit, hardboiled, and contemporary Western--with a single unifying theme: books and the people who love them. The quality of the tales is unusually high and it is, at least as of this writing, the best anthology I've read all year.
SynopsisSpecially commissioned by the Mysterious Bookshop, the "bibliomysteries" in this unique collection feature original stories by the genre's most distinguished authors: Ian Rankin, Thomas Perry, Joyce Carol Oates, Megan Abbott, and Elizabeth George. If you like mysteries and you like books, what could be better than combining both worlds, with mysteries set against a background involving books? This collection of crime for bibliophiles includes stories about rare books, bookshops, libraries, manuscripts, magical books, collectors--in short, the wonderful universe that makes this precious object we all love so important and priceless. Ian Rankin sets his tale of the lost original manuscript of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the legendary Paris bookshop Shakespeare & Co., while F. Paul Wilson offers a book with remarkable powers. Joyce Carol Oates portrays an overly ambitious dealer in mystery fiction, while James Grady has the "Condor" working in the Library of Congress. Ste- phen Hunter tells a previously unknown story of Alan Turing set during World War I--involving a book that could change the history of the world--and Peter Lovesey writes about a box full of Agatha Christie titles that just may be priceless. Carolyn Hart's story is about an astonishing inscription in a book, while Megan Abbott and Denise Mina add their Edgar-nominated stories to this stellar collection. Whether your taste is for the traditional mystery, something a little more hard-boiled, or the bizarre and humorous tale, you will find exactly your cup of tea in this outstanding collection of fifteen stories by the most distinguished mystery writers working today. Including stories by: Peter Lovesey, F. Paul Wilson, Lyndsay Faye, Bradford Morrow, R. L. Stine, Joyce Carol Oates, Thomas Perry, Elizabeth George, Carolyn Hart, Megan Abbott, Stephen Hunter, Denise Mina, James Grady, Ian Rankin, and James W.

Estleman, Nelson DeMille, Anne Perry, Jeffery Deaver, C. J. Box, Thomas H. Cook, and Laura Lippman., The stories in this unique collection were commissioned by the Mysterious Bookshop. They were written by some of the mystery genre's most distinguished authors. Tough guys like Ken Bruen, Reed Farrel Coleman, Loren D. Estleman, and Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins. Bestsellers like Nelson DeMille, Anne Perry, and Jeffery Deaver. Edgar winners such as C. J. Box, Thomas H. Cook, and Laura Lippman. Here you will discover Sigmund Freud dealing with an unwelcome visitor; Columbo confronting a murderous bookseller; a Mexican cartel kingpin with a fatal weakness for rare books; and deadly secrets deep in the London Library; plus books with hidden messages, beguiling booksellers, crafty collectors, and a magical library that is guaranteed to enchant you. The stories have been published in seven languages--one has sold more than 250,000 copies as an e-book ("The Book Case" by Nelson DeMille)--and another won the Edgar Allan Poe Award as the Best Short Story of the Year ("The Caxton Lending Library and Book Depository" by John Connolly). Who knew literature could be so lethal

Biblio boring? Anything but!
Mystery stories involving books written by famous mystery writers. This is a gem of a book that didn’t garner near enough attention and accolades, except from the readers. You won’t be disappointed and maybe like me, you’ll consider this book another literary treasure.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
