3rd Culprit: A Crime Writers' Annual-1994
Crime in all its devious incarnations is presented in this treat of murderous morsels dished out by old pros and promising newcomers. Artfully crafted and impossible to put down, each story bountifully demonstrates why these authors are la creme de la crime.

I enjoyed this book much more than "2nd Culprit". The short mysteries were excellently written and there was only 1 essay in the collection. Well worth reading these stories by such fine writers.
