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." <i>The Best American Mystery Stories 2019</i> 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. <p/><i>The Best American Mystery Stories 201</i>9 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Lives up to its title...recommended for readers of psychological mysteries and thrillers as well as genre aficionados seeking the standout stories of the year."--<b>Library Journal</b> <p/> "Reliably strong stories...
