A century of noir
Eh. There are a couple powerful stories in here ("Murder for Money" by John D. MacDonald, "The Reason Why" by Ed Gorman, "Lost and Found" by Benjamin Schutz) and a couple that are really fun and/or ingenious ("The Meanest Cop in the World" by Chester Himes, "Don't Look Behind You" by Fredric Brown, "Never Shake a Family Tree" by Donald Westlake, "How Would You Like It?" by Lawrence Block), but the anthology as a whole is really weighed down by the droning similarity of voice (and, for that matter, action).
I found The Best American Mystery Stories of the Century about 90x more unpredictable (and enjoyable).
