THE BIG BOOK OF VICTORIAN MYSTERIES

New York Times best-selling author of ten genre-bending novels Jonathan Lethem helms this collection of the year's best mystery short fiction.  For Jonathan Lethem, "crime stories are deep species gossip." He writes in his introduction that "they're fundamentally stories of power, of its exercise, both spontaneous and conspiratorial; stories of impulse and desire, and of the turning of tables." The Best American Mystery Stories 2019 has its full share of salacious intrigue, guilt, and retribution. The twists and bad decisions pile up when a thief picks the wrong target or a simple scavenger hunt takes a terrible turn. What happens when you befriend a death row inmate, or just how does writing Internet clickbait became a decidedly dangerous occupation? "How can we not hang on their outcomes?" asks Lethem. "Are we innocent ourselves, or complicit?" Read on to find out.  The Best American Mystery Stories 2019 includes Sharon Hunt, Harley Jane Kozak, Mark Mayer, Jennifer McMahon, Joyce Carol Oates, Brian Panowich, Tonya D. Price, Ron Rash, Robb T. White, and others.

The Best American Mystery Stories 2019 - A Mystery Collection

« Il ne faut jamais faire entièrement confiance aux femmes », estimait Arthur Conan Doyle. Eût-il croisé les héroïnes de ce recueil - tour à tour vénéneuses, machiavéliques, fatales -, le père de Sherlock Holmes aurait été plus catégorique encore...Il ne faut jamais faire confiance aux femmes ! Fort de cette certitude, Otto Penzler a demandé à dix-sept maîtres du suspense de lui livrer une nouvelle - le plus souvent inédite - mettant en scène une femme dangereuse."Source : extrait Amazon

Quand ces dames tuent

An unparalleled treasury of crime, mystery, and murder from the genre's founding century With stories by Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, L. Frank Baum, Edith Wharton, Stephen Crane, and Jack London, The Best American Mystery Stories of the Nineteenth Century is an essential anthology of American letters. It's a unique blend of beloved writers who contributed to the genre and forgotten names that pioneered the form, such as Anna Katharine Green, the godmother of mystery fiction, and the African-American writer Charles W. Chesnutt. Of course, Penzler includes "The Murders in the Rue Morgue, " recognized as the first detective story, and with thirty-three stories spanning the years 1824-1899, nowhere else can readers find such a surprising, comprehensive take on the evolution of the American mystery story.

The Best American Mystery Stories Of The Nineteenth Century

Conan Doyle lui-même s'est essayé au pastiche de ses propres nouvelles; il a mis en scène Sherlock Holmes dans des "à la manière de", qui ne font pas partie du sacro-saint "Canon". L'un de ces textes, à l'histoire particulière, figure dans ce recueil, aux côtés de trois nouvelles de continuateurs brillants: Donald Thomas, Leslie S. Klinger et Barry Day, tous grands connaisseurs de l'oeuvre et auteurs de pastiches si réussis qu'on les dirait authentiques. A la manière du maître. 

Ce volume est précédé d'une préface de Thierry Saint Joanis, président de la Société Sherlock Holmes de France et grand érudit en science holmésienne.
