3.0 out of 5 stars Warning -- not your usual Barnard, April 8, 2009

This review is from: The Habit of Widowhood (Hardcover)
One of the reasons I am working my way joyfully through all Robert Barnard's books is that he doesn't insert gratuitous scenes of sex and/or violence (emphasis on gratuitous). His earlier books in particular concentrate on marvelous character development, literate and witty writing, and skewering the evil. shoddy, and pretentious. The only added ingredient in this book of short stories is a very noir, occasionally grotesque, and, in one story, desperately sad and twisted slant on humanity. The only story I would care to RE-read is "Post Mortem".
