"Blame it on a simple twist of fate." - Bob DylanUnsavory Delicacies is a delectable collection of three short stories that showcases together the author's imaginative writing, eye for detail, interesting characterization and penchant for twists and surprises.* Creme Brulee - deals with a foxy lady who uses her beauty and cunning while engaging in a shady transaction that goes wrong* To The Last Bite - features a food critic bent on destroying every food establishment he dines in when he ultimately gets his fill and much deserved just desserts* Shashlyk and Morozhenoe - tells of a covert operative who finds himself in a sticky situation with the Russian Mafiathis anthology would be a great introduction to those unfamiliar with Russell Brooks. i really enjoyed the stories as much as i did reading Pandora's Succession - his first novel.if you want something short but fun, intense though bearable, fast-paced yet well-timed,  treat yourself to some Unsavory Delicacies. you might just find yourself asking for more.Disclosure of Material Connection: i received an eARC of Unsavory Delicacies from the author himself. i did not receive any payment in exchange for this review nor was i obligated to write a positive one. all opinions expressed here are entirely my own and may not necessarily agree with those of the author, the book's publisher and publicist or the readers of this review. this disclosure is in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255, Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
