*Revenge is sweet* so says the author and it certainly rings true in the four tales presented. Far from being the typical victims, this noir genre indeed displays sweet revenge where each female protagonist as prey subtlety triumphs over their male nemeses. Kling's economical uses of words are lyrically descriptive, insightful and shrewd. Loved the introduction and the explanation of what is *Noir*.I can't decide which one stands out most in my mind; I thoroughly enjoyed them all. However, if I had to pick one over the others, I'd choose, *The Monkey's Fist* in which the unnamed wife quietly gets the last word over her arrogant husband. Wait, make that *Dead Storage; which shows me how a vivid imagination trumps a dumb$hit. But hey, *The Night Watchman* and *Flight* would be my second choice. Ok, so my rating system is a tad whacky but I challenge you to make a decision. Plus, you'll get an excerpt from the novella, The Circle of Bones.I received a complimentary copy of *Sea Bitch* in exchange for my review. Well, to say that Kling's work is brilliant is an understatement. I highly recommend this author's work wherever it takes you ~!~.
