My Review

I loved this collection of short stories! It was a book you could dip in and out of easily. Read one or two stories at a time.

The subject matter ranged from missing cadavers in an anatomy lab in Scotland to sabotage on a Hollywood movie set.

I will admit, the ones set in Scotland were my favourite, but all were enjoyable, and it’s quite the group of talented authors.

Oh, and the recipe.
