Review: Old Biddy Meets Mouthy Hoodlum
Rating: 5 out of 5

For a short story, this packs a powerful punch! You fall in love with the old biddy fairly quickly. And you tend to think that the pong the intruder smells is truly just old age scent coming from Wilf's old lady. I secretly thought that the odour was unexpected gas or a dead Wilf!Ethel really was an endearing old soul. Seemingly forgetful, or just plain dotty, she could be anybody's lovable grandmother. The intruder was even rather likable, violent with a foul mouth. Just how you would expect any serial burglar to be. Expect the unexpected in this very quick read from Andrew Biss's novel "Strange Tales of the Curiously Uncommon".
