Book of the Week: Libby Fischer Hellmann's "Chicago Blues"
Editor Libby Fischer Hellmann presents a solid anthology of crime stories, all set in the city of Chicago. Most of them are originals, although a handful, including a couple of the better ones, are reprints. As is the case with all such collections, there are several misses mixed in with the hits, but the batting average of Chicago Blues is definitely higher than most. Stand-out contributions from Hellmann, Stuart Kaminsky, Jack Fredrickson, David J. Walker, Michael Allen Dymmoh and Barbara D'Amato in particular recommend it.
Why wasn't Guyot invited to contribute?

Yeah! Why WASN'T Guyot invited? Oh, maybe it's because he doesn't live in Chicago? :) But still!

This was better than some of the City Noir titles.
