Mystery, Crime and Mayhem is a themed anthology series that collects short crime fiction from multiple authors. Each volume focuses on a particular subject, from cold cases and black widows to stolen cars and extreme weather. The series ran from 2020 to 2024, producing twenty volumes that cover a wide range of criminal scenarios and settings.
Libby Fischer Hellmann is among the contributing authors to the series. The themed format allows each anthology to explore its subject from multiple angles, with different authors bringing their own styles and perspectives to the shared topic. The series offers readers a sampler of contemporary crime fiction voices organized by subject rather than by author or geography.
