 FR> Who's writing good short mysteries recently?   Any recommendations?
 FR> Last year I read a collection of shorts by Colin Dexter, some of which
 FR> involved Chief Inspector Morse, a favorite of mine.  I thought they
 FR> were rather poor.  My overall reaction was that Dexter should stick to
 FR> novels.
I just finished Sara Paretsky's "Windy City Blues;" must say I really quite
liked her short stories ... enjoyed them more than her last 2 novels, at any
rate.  However, they were written over a period of 13 years - so novels are
likely to remain her norm.
I was always a little disappointed that Dorothy L. Sayers never wrote more -
(much more) - about her Mr. Egg character and his brief, brilliant exploits.
Not new, I know, though quality never fails to satisfy.  :)
