I've been reading "The Best American Mystery Stories 2004" Nelson DeMille, editor.
This particular collection has been something of a disappointment. Maybe it is just me, but there seems to be very little "mystery" involved. Good characterizations, and good story telling but no clues, no crime to solve, no detectives for the most part. Just a story. I guess I expect more when I see the word "mystery."

Then why would a mystery reader want to read this book? I think it's a shame. It's almost as bad as if historical FICTION had been filed under non-fiction and you don't know the difference until you start reading it. Thanks for the warning.
