Synopsis

The newest anthology from Mystery Writers of America explores the theme of home and the crimes that endanger it, with stories by Ellen Hart, Naomi Hirahara, Walter Mosley, Sara Paretsky and more.

Everyone comes from someplace. Everyone has somewhere they feel safe. Some people have found their home and are content where they are. Others feel trapped and yearn to go somewhere else. Many are somewhere else and yearn to go back. But evenin these safest of places, sometimes…crime hits home. What happens then?

In this volume, MWA brings together some of today’s biggest crime writers—and some of our most exciting new talents—to consider this question. Each writer has defined home as they see fit: a place, a group, a feeling. The crime can come from without or within. What happens when crime hits home?

What is home? And how does one define it? Each writer provides their own take, in their own way. Of course, it is interesting when mystery and/or crime enters into the story. What will you discover as you read each story?......more

Goodreads review by Christine on April 08, 2022

Crime Hits Home is a collection of short stories by twenty different writers. The authors, the characters, and the subject matter of the stories are very diverse. The common theme of the stories is what happens when “crime hits home.” Some of the contributing authors are very well known, such as Nao......more

Goodreads review by Steven on October 18, 2023

This is the 2021 entry in the series of mystery anthologies issued by the Mystery Writers of America. There are twenty stories, all supposed to relate to the idea of "home." All of the stories are original to this anthology. Recent collections in this series all have a loose theme connecting the sto......more

Goodreads review by Monica on October 12, 2023

This book is difficult for me to rate because it has some sparkling gyms and some real stinkers in the same collection. One thing that is glaringly obvious is the liberal political tone of the collection overall, and the over the top focus on transgender and social justice themes without any stories......more

Goodreads review by Judy on May 01, 2022

I use collections of short stories such as this one in hopes of finding an author who gets my attention so engaged that I want to read more of their work. This collection didn't work out that way so that was a disappointment. The theme of crime in or around the home was well employed by each of the......more
