The Mysterious Bookshop Presents the Best Mystery Stories of the Year 2025:
"I enjoy reading short mystery stories and loved that this collection of 21 stories was edited by John Grisham. A crime or the threat of a crime is central to the plot of each of the stories. I wasn't familiar with most of the authors, so I didn't kno"

Isaac's Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History
by Erik Larson (Goodreads Author) |

“Man was matter, that was Snowden's secret. Drop him out a window, and he'll fall. Set fire to him and he'll burn. Bury him and he'll rot, like other kinds of garbage. The spirit gone, man is garbage. That was Snowden's secret. Ripeness was all.”

“...to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.”

“I conjure the boy I knew. Achilles, grinning as the figs blur in his hands. His green eyes laughing into mine. Catch, he says. Achilles, outlined against the sky, hanging from a branch over the river. The thick warmth of his sleepy breath against my ear. If you have to go, I will go with you. My fears forgotten in the golden harbor of his arms.
The memories come, and come. She listens, staring into the grain of the stone. We are all there, goddess and mortal and the boy who was both.”
― The Song of Achilles
