In A Word: Murder – Stories In Memory of Maxine Clarke edited by Margot Kinberg, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (February 2014) – ebook, 128 pages

from the Introduction:
“Maxine Clarke, to whose memory these stories are dedicated, was a true friend to the crime fiction community. She encouraged those of us who write crime stories, and always welcomed new authors and new readers of crime fiction. She was an expert in the genre, and her blog and reviews were a source of new ideas and inspiration for many. She also moderated an online crime fiction group that brought together crime fiction readers and authors from all over the world. She is sorely missed. This collection of stories pays tribute to Maxine’s interest in crime fiction and her professional skill as an editor and blogger. All of the stories focus on crime in the writing, reviewing, editing, publishing and blogging world. That leaves open a fairly broad range of possibilities for stories, so you’ll find a variety of takes on the theme here.”

My Take:
I enjoyed this anthology quite a lot. Lots of good writing here!
