review 1: I loved this book it has 2 novellas in it and my favorite of the two is Chickenfeed which is about a couple who plans on getting married but then he gets sick of her and decides to be with someone else. Well she finds out about the other woman and tries to win her man back by saying that she is pregnant. It doesn't work and she ends up dead. Everyone thinks that he did it but the case is strange and she is found hung naked and everyone knows that she would not do that especially in the winter anyway the story is actually based on a true story and know one will ever know what actually happened because it happened in the 1920's. The other story is called The Tinder Box and I really don't remember to much about that one but like I said Chickenfeed is my favorite and is worth ... morea couple of hours of reading.
review 2: Two short (100-ish pages) stories. Interesting and compelling stories about murder, but sadly none of the characters are likable.The author also seems to have some disturbing typical-English biases. Catholics and Irish need not apply.I should also note that these stories are VERY liberal. Each story is set up to point to one individual as the murderer and then through a complicated/magical twist at the end, the author reveals a different person did it. The author seems to be bending the stories backwards to label readers with common sense as evil, racist or biased in some way for following the clues to their logical conclusion. less
