I have absolutely no idea why these are considered mystery stories. At most they're crime fiction, but in many cases that's at best a loose tie. These stories strike me more as short stories that didn't get in to the Best American Short Stories 2008 collection. The stories are fine, and some are quite good - my two-star rating primarily reflects my disappointment in the lack of mystery writing.

Dull, uninspired writing about things no one cares about. Stephanie Meyer could write better crap. Fortunately, I don't have cats, so I'll never write about them.
