Review: Suspense arrives in crescendo...
Rating: 5 out of 5

The three stories within this book each start rather lightly, with the suspense associated with the genre a soft whisper, building crescendo fashion to something that cannot be put down a bit over halfway through.  All three stories are worth the read; additionally, they all lack those elements that would make them inappropriate for younger readers while consistently maintaining adult interest.It does have more than average errors of punctuation and grammar, so be forewarned should those grate upon you.  One thing that appears to be grammatical error is actually a dialectical idiosyncrasy of the author's southern area of residence: ie. "The bandage needs changed" v the more acceptable "the bandage needs to be changed" or "the bandage needs changing".  I am only aware of this difference from marriage to one whose parents were from the author's area; it was real hard for me to grow accustomed to!  When I lived in his hometown, in Idaho's mining sector, I was suddenly deluged with this manner of speech - nearly all the locals were raised by parents from eastern Texas, Jopplin Missouri & Oklahoma.  You'll get used to it; can't blame the proof-reader for not catching what looks natural to local speech patterns.At any rate, this collection provided a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience; I would recommend it for all readers in the household.
