I purchased this collection of short stories on the recommendation of a friend. While this is not my usual genre, I really enjoyed them. In particular, I like the cut and dry newspaper-like style that perfectly matched the content of the stories. Being half-Canadian, I also loved the references to my father's homeland; the beauty of Nova Scotia, Tim Horton Restaurant, Ogo Pogo. All these evoked childhood memories. Of the three stories, The Ogo Pogo Murder was my favorite, but all three were quite strong.If I HAD to pick on one thing... the use of contractions in dialogue would make it flow smoother. But that's certainly not worth even half a star.I really enjoyed this book and have recommended it to others. Well done, Mr. Anderson.
