Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. I downloaded this from Overdrive on a whim. I find short story collections to be hit or miss even at their best. As I listened to the first pieces, I thought perhaps this one had been a mistake. Short story mysteries are tricky, and maybe they don't adapt well to the audio format. Not having a list of stories/authors didn't help*.I started with# His Tears by Marilyn Wallace# Sign of the Times by Nancy Pickard# Cast Your Fate to the Wind by Deborah Adams which didn't make much of an impression on me. In fact, I remember pretty much nothing about them. After that, either I adapted to the stories, or the stories got better.I really enjoyed# Fannie’s Back Fence Caper by Susan & Bill Albertand will need to track down the authors, who have been recommended to me before. Following the path of a small town adventure through call-ins to the local radio show was very entertaining.# The Dying Light by Taylor McCaffertyWas an interesting character study. Very creepy, a little spooky, and a nice buildup.# The Family Jewels by Dorothy CannellIs an absolutely hilarious parody of historical adventure/romance novels.# The Trouble with the Shoot by Camilla T. CrespiDidn't grab me. Fashion and a dead body.# High Heels in the Headliner by Wendy HornsbyThis was entertaining. I looked at as meta-fiction, the story of a woman who got a little too involved in the research for writing a myster novel. Or she could have just been delusional, in which case this would just be creepy and bizarre.# Cara’s Turn by Marlys MillhiserSomething about real estate. I restarted several times, but I just kept tuning out. Don't know whether it was the story or the narrator that was the problem, but it didn't click for me.# Gentle Reader by Sharyn McCrumb A humorous piece, which I enjoyed, even if it was a bit predictable-- an author and the mob :-).# Double Delight by L.B. Greenwood# Make Yourselves at Home by Joan Hess# Highwater by D.R. MeredithAs far as I can tell, these weren't in the audiobook, even though they were listed in the IBL as being in the collection.In the end, I think the collection was successful. I'll check out more from Overdrive at some point.*(Thanks to the Internet Book List http://www.iblist.com/ for the list of stories and authors) ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
