It's not easy to define Patti Abbott's talent, for indeed that's what she is.  I notice that Ken Bruen was hailing her in the intro toGrimm Taleswhere he suggests that she'll be up for an Edgar this time around for her entry there.If that's the case, I fear that story has competition - from every one of the entries in here.They are crime stories in the main, but they go beyond the run-of-the-mill telling of events and flow over into detail in every way a reader might require them.  Setting, character and plot merge into perfection.I read a lot of short stories.  It's something I love.  Monkey Justice ranks up with the best collections out there and you should check it out.  That way, you'll be able to say you were aware of her talent ahead of the masses.Should she choose to aim for the stars, this lady will go much further than the barn roof.Class.
