Mom, the Armchair Detective,
By APRICOT "ryoko" (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Mother, The Detective: The Complete "Mom" Short Stories (Paperback)
The armchair detective of this book has no names. She is just called "Mom" by her son, David, a police detective of New York Homicide Squad. David regularly visits Mom with his wife, Shirley. At the dinner table, he talks about the murder cases he hasn't solved yet. Mom just listens to her son's stories, asks several questions and brilliantly solves the cases.
Excellently plotted mysteries. Every small pieces fit neatly like a fine jig-saw puzzle. What is more, Mom's reasoning is backed up by her deep insight of human beings. She reveals people's weakness, foolishness, sadness and so on. That adds the stories depth and warmth. The stories are mainly consisted by dialogue and very easy to read, but they are deep and impressive. |
