The author of this short story anthology is a rising star of the British literary world and I was curious to know why. Now I completely understand. All nine stories are simply written, but each leaves an indelible mark on the reader and any would be writer need look no further for an example of how to write the perfect short story. The reader is hooked from page one and drawn into the strong narrative of each story, so much so, you never see the well disguised final twist coming, until it slams you in the face.This compilation is the perfect introduction to the works of this talented and prolific novelist and I could not offer a stronger recommendation to any would be reader. Terry Tyler is simply a wonderful wordsmith and if you've not read any of her work yet, you should do so without delay.
