This is the
second collection of short stories starring the clever granny detective, Lottie
King.
Newly-retired
Lottie King is in heaven in "New Shoes." On a mission to find the
perfect shoes to wear on her Caribbean cruise, she never expected to find a
body. Of course, you can't keep a former homicide detective away from a crime
scene. This case takes us back 63 years. Who would shoot a guy and stuff him
between the walls?
In
"First Dance," Lottie signs up for a pole-dancing class. Now there's
an image that stays with you. But who would kill the instructor?
Most of
these stories were good, except for "Unexpected Delivery," which is a
montage of letters written to an unknown recipient. What?
Otherwise,
these were clever and witty. A good short story always leaves you wanting more,
and this reader definitely wants more Lottie King.
My rating: 4 stars
