Unsavory Delicacies are 3 short stories that are full of action and suspense. The first story titled "Crème Brlée" and the third one "Shashlyk and Morozhenoe" are connect to a character (Ridley Fox) from Russell's first book, Pandora's Succession- which I though was fantastic! You don't have to have read Pandora's Succession to understand these two short stories, they are perfect on their own and are fast paced, suspenseful and they were great short stories.The second short story in the collection, "To the Last Bite" was probably my favorite of the three. It too is suspenseful it sucked me right into the plot.Together these three short stories took me about an hour total to read. This is the first time I've actually read any short stories (besides a children's book) and it was nice to sit down and have a quick read, unlike a novel.I'd recommend these to anyone who likes fast-paced action, suspense, and getting revenge in an unusual way!As always, I look forward to reading more works from Russell Brooks!
