5.0 out of 5 stars
Short stories with surprise endings,
By
This review is from: Butchers and Other Stories of Crime (Paperback)
This is great little volume of 16 short stories, all which have a surprise or a twist at the end. Usually the villain gets their comeuppance or a misunderstanding leads to the hero winning the day. I recommend this book highly for those who like their reading in small batches; I just wish Lovesey would write a few more batches of stories.

This review is from: Butchers & Other Stories of Crime (Hardcover)
I've read quite a few of Lovesey's novels--w/his 3 different detectives--Diamond, Prince of Wales, & Sgt. Cribb, they're usually pretty good, but this is my 1st read short story collection. He's better at short stories! They're intriguing, different, surprising, & most enjoyable. The endings are gems, esp. in "The Corder Figure." Terrific!
