description: Books on Tape Collector's Edition- 10 tapes narrated by various readers. Weighing in at approximately 200,000 words, this comprehensive collection includes the world's finest mystery and crime short fiction for the year 2000. Both American and British luminaries of the genre are included here, along with introductory essays which rate and grade the state of the genre in the preceding year. The writers are the best that could conceivably be assembled, including Jeffery Deaver, Elizabeth George, Faye Kellerman, Jonathan Kellerman, Ed McBain, Anne Perry, and Ruth Rendell. Coming straight behind them are Doug Allyn, Robert Barnard, Gillian Linscott, Stuart M. Kaminsky, Peter Lovesey, John Lutz, Joyce Carol Oates, Nancy Pickard, Bill Pronzini, Peter Robinson, S.J. Rozan, Donald E. Westlake and Lawrence Block. This should be enough to slake anyone's thirst for mystery. "The sotories range in quality from above average to superb." (Kirkus Reviews)
