The title of this book of short stories speaks volumes about the content. Who can resist mayhem in New York City especially if it occurs in Manhattan? The slim volume I received is a sample of four short stories which will be included in the *final* published book that will consist of seventeen or eighteen stories, depending on which information I read is correct. The cover of my "advanced reading sample from uncorrected proofs" names 6 authors and then has this added "and 12 others" which equals 18. The table of contents lists 17 titles of short stories. Whichever is correct, if the four stories I read are any indication of the rest of this book, I can predict, the reader will be sorry if there are only seventeen! The four I read are spell binding, highly engaging, complex stories filled with unforgettable characters that have great depth and well developed personalities. There are suspense-filled plots with twists and turns which lead down paths to places, feelings, situations, and events the reader can not anticipate which make the stories all the more appealing and memorable. There are magnificent black and white photos of New York which enhance the appeal of these stories, presenting the city as a magical mysterious landscape.The first story, "Three Little Words" written by Nancy Pickard engages the reader's emotions from the start, Priscilla, an attractive young woman in her mid-twenties is told by her doctor she has only a few weeks to live. She and her doctor engage in "gallows humor" and he advises she make a "bucket list" of things to do to make whatever time she has to live, worthwhile. She gets note paper from him and writes these words "tell the truth".
