An excellent collection of short stories from Mr Brazill, the quality of the prose is some of the best out there. He writes with a practised and consummate ease that shines through each crafted sentence. There isn't a bad story among the 13 in fact they range from very good to excellent. Some are darkly humorous, some tough as nails. Here's an example of the writing:The autumn night draped itself over the city, and the moon bit into the sky as Alison rushed home from her usual Wednesday evening yoga class. She felt edgy and fumbled for her keys as she heard the click, click, click of high heels on the wet pavement. She turned. On the corner of the street, beneath a blinking streetlight, a woman was smoking a cigarette. Her silhouette seemed to appear and disappear like warm breath on a window pane.Excellent stuff.
