Another brilliant collection of unsettlingly fiendish short stories from some of the of the most talented and cherished crime writers

My thanks to NetGalley and Canongate for a copy of “ Many Deadly Returns “ for an honest review.
As a rule I don’t tend to read short stories, as they seem too light on storyline.I’ve rarely read all the chapters , and found them more miss than hit.
I decided to read this book as it had contributions from several authors that I have read, and enjoyed , in the past.
This book was a definite eye opener ! Each story was interesting and suspenseful .It shows why these authors are some of the best in their genre .They are able to build up so much tension in so few pages.
I’ve now ordered the previous anthologies, and I’ll be recommending this 21 year anniversary book to others who enjoy a good thriller.

There are two great things about anthologies. The selection of short stories makes them ideal for picking up and putting down, between books, or just when you have little time to spare, but feel the need to indulge yourself in a spell binding mystery.
Mainly though, they are a fantastic way to enjoy work from your favourite authors in-between their main books, or quite simply to introduce you to an author you may not have tried before.
This selection of stories fits both bills perfectly, and introduces to newer readers a plethora of excellent writers with great back catalogues to explore.
In particular, my favourites in this selection are Martin Edwards, and Chris Simms, but I enjoyed all the tales. Definitely a book I will return to time and again, and use to introduce others to just a few fabulous people.
