Mystery Writers of America Presents Death Do Us Part: New Stories about Love, Lust, and Murder
Amazon US TPB Amazon US HC Amazon Canada TPB Amazon Canada HC
Harlan Coben
Class/Genre: Mystery [Short Stories]
Little, Brown, Sep 2006, $25.99
This superb eighteen story collection focuses on crimes of passion in which lust or love leads inevitably to murder. The contributions are well written though a bit ghoulish as red stands for blood not lips. The authors are a who’s who of the genre (Coben, Todd, DuBois, Child, etc.) who provide fascinating tales that span various eras and locales. DEATH DO US PART is a fun anthology though as Mr. Coben points out in the first line of the Introduction: "I'm about to give away the ending" as the theme for the most part takes away any shockers and surprise spins. Still this is a terrific look at true love through the lens of the Mystery Writers of America who take their vows seriously.
