Carol Oates, is not crime fiction, there is much here that fans of the genre might find engaging.In a review today on January Magazine, critic David Abrams waxes poetically enthusiastic about the 10 stories that make up this collection:
The full impact doesn't hit until a few hours or days or even weeks after you have set the book aside and gone on to cheerier things: whistling happy Broadway show tunes, picking daisies in a sun-drenched field, or eating a heavenly slice of lemon-meringue pie. Then, as your mind drifts back to the stories and you start to think about the sub-surface tension or picture some of those indelible images, then and only then does it smack you. BAM! You might even drop your fork as the lemon pie goes sour on your tongue.Abrams’ review is here.
