Reviews

Goodreads review by Kim on April 01, 2023

Good bedtime reading, classic British murder mysteries, nothing to give you nightmares, (unlike a recent book I read). Some of the stories felt a little dated, but the author did mention they had been written over a lengthy period of time. And Ann is no spring chicken.......more

Entertaining as always.......more

Goodreads review by Christine on March 05, 2022

This is a very hefty book of short, crime related stories. I am a great fan of short stories but unfortunately I am not a fan of the author, Ann Granger. Four of the stories were actually more like novellas, featuring her series' characters which I didn't read as I have no interest in her wider work......more

Amusing selection of short stories.......more

Goodreads review by Téa on March 09, 2025

this made me appreciate just how hard it is to write short stories. You need the whole cohesive plot, an attachment or understanding to the characters in a few short pages. The creativity and execution of these stories was definitely there, i enjoyed them!......more
