The very end of your last review is cut off in mid-word. Would love to know how it ends. 🙂

FWIW, I follow Lee Goldberg on social media, and he had a short story in his brother’s collection, “Eight Very Bad Nights” (all the stories are about Hannukkah). The collection is quite good, with two or three standouts in it. I confess I frequently avoid short story collections for the “failing to stick the landing” problem. Although I’m more annoyed when they fail to take off, can’t maneuver in the air, and there’s no landing at all. Slice of life stuff that seems to have an interesting middle description of a day in someone’s life, full of wordplay and metaphor, and yet no plot or resolution of any kind. None of the ones in 8VBNs have any incompleteness, but my bias is towards Lee’s as the best “full service mystery story”.
