Julie Morrigan has style. The juxtaposition of these two very different tales illustrates that. The first brings the famously doomed capers of Don Winslow's John Dortmunder to mind -- although Johnny Dortmunder would flee in terror at the events described in Julie's vision of a comic misadventure. The second chronicle more than lives up to its title in the razored brutality of the final solution to an age-old problem. Both stories are chockablock full of Morrigan's brilliant dialogue and pinpoint characterizations of both place and people.If you're not familiar with her works, these two orderves set the table nicely for your further discovery of Julie's collections and novels. Try 'em all. You'll like 'em a lot. As I said: The lady's got style.
