This review is from: Sad Wind from the Sea (Paperback)

In what is probably a record, I ordered "Sad Wind From The Sea", had it delivered, and managed to read it all in about 24 hours. Kudos to Amazon for the really quick delivery but the book itself was only 134 pages long. It was, like all of MR Higgins work, a very good read but I think it was a little short for the price of $19.99
A better and more honest value would be the packaging of two such novelettes for the same price.
With no disrespect to one of the best authors around, 134 pages is the length of a college History paper and not the length of a stand alone novel.
