Thirteen stories centred -in many different ways- around the Mysterious Bookshop in New York. Jilted lovers, wronged people who seek revenge, ambitious writers who try to resurrect their fame by taking advantage of the past and present, corrupted police officers, amateur sleuths, Christmas puzzles and a cognac that brings warmth and happiness to the ones who accept it without opening it.

The Mysterious Bookshop Presents the Best Mystery… by Anthony Horowitz
As always with such anthologies, a bit mixed in terms of overall quality, but there are some real standouts here too.

The Mysterious Bookshop Presents the Best Mystery… by Anthony Horowitz
I enjoy all of Penzler’s anthologies. The split between Penzler and the ‘The Year’s Best’ series has given an extra anthology to read. Culling a year’s output even to around twenty is a remarkable accomplishment.One will never agree with all an anthologist includes - but no duds in this collection.
