This collection of short stories particularly
impressed me with its diversity. Ann Morven ("diva of the whodunit") spreads
farther here than do her novels, presenting tales that vary from the macabre to
the magical. There are, of course, her signature whodunits as well (four of
them). Also the elements of chills and chuckles that she mixes so adroitly.
I
found her characters intriguing and their problems compelling. For entertaining
crime this author ranks among the best.
