Critic Reviews

“These stories evoke those black-and-white days when Alfred Hitchcock shuffled onto our walnut-encased televisions to present half an hour of spine-tingling tension... how refreshing it is to find the perfect length of story that should satisfy all enthusiasts of this genre.” ( The Spectator

Really enjoyed ALL the stories

I was expecting to like one or two of the short stories but no they were all good. Each story was very individual, therefore they did not bleed into each other and become one. This would make me read other books by the authors that I did not know before.

4 of the 5 brilliant!

4 of the authors wrote brilliant short stories; Val Mcdermid however wrote an episode of one of her established fictional characters' exploits. Not being a fan of Murder She Wrote type recipes, it didn't work for me.
The other 4 stories more than compensate though.

some better than others

some of the narration doesn't help to hold you listening mediocre I'm afraid this time
