Title: Extremely blah book of boring short stories
Review: Of the half dozen short stories contained in the book, only one is mildly interesting. Every story deals with war time back here at home with all the discussions about rationing, blackouts, boys off serving etc. That in itself is not off-putting but the book is supposed to be mystery flavored-and it is not-it's a group of stories about not much of anything.The ONLY little tale that is interesting enough to be recognized is "The Lipstick" that comes at the very end. It is a clever story that makes you wonder "did she fall or was she pushed?"I bought this book because my taste runs to the quirky and a little out of the ordinary mystery and/or thriller. This was neither nor was it at all interesting. Don't even know why I finished reading it.
