This review is from: Mystery, Malevolence & Murder (Paperback)

With wonderful scenic descriptions of Chicago, Brooklyn, and other places, Mr Boyd weaves tales of suspense. Many of the 13 short stories have elements of the paranormal or intuition, which provides additional depth and texture. Never gratuitously gruesome, you almost forget that these stories are about malevolence and murder, as you observe the personal journeys of the stories' characters.
