The Best American Mystery Stories 2017 by Otto Penzler, John Sandford
3.0
This collections skews toward the hard-boiled, toward the masculine, but the two stories I liked most both have female protagonists:
In Trina Corey's Flight a woman with MS is the only one in her nursing home to realize that a killer is preying on residents.
In K. McGee's Dot Rat a widow who seems content with her quiet life finds a lonely, mistreated young boy hiding in her garden one night. Once her reluctance is worn away, she becomes a fierce protector.
