Rezensionen

"To Cha's great credit, along with her guest editor, novelist Alafair Burke, this year's edition...not only features many women and writers of color, but also pairs household names like Alex Segura, Lisa Unger and Laura Lippman...with top up-and-comers to paint a clear picture of the genre in 2021." - USA Today

"In this selection of tales exploring crime-sparking marginalization and thwarted desires, guest editor Alafair Burke and debut series editor Steph Cha have created a powerful vehicle for processing 2020's volatility...Cha and Burke have curated a magical collection that serves as a master class in suspense writing." - Booklist
