Three the Hard Way is a collection of short stories by Mathew Iden. In the first story, "The Wrong Job", a couple is about to lose their house to foreclosure when they meet up with a couple of inept bank robbers. The ending makes me think about how far you would go when you're already without hope."The Dead Letter' tells a story through letters sent between the characters. I wish there had been a couple more letters to fill in the plot, although the news article ties the loose ends up nicely.My favorite was Appalachian Love Story. A wife talks herself into believing that her husband's uncharacteristic actions mean that he's plotting to kill her. Great ending.I enjoyed reading the author's story notes at the end. They gave insight into his inspiration for the stories.
