Exceed the Dose!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Having read all of Lovesey's Peter Diamond Mysteries & the Cribb novels, I was fiending for more--that's when I found this collection in a used book shop. If you're a fan, you'll love these little glimpses into all of Lovesey's detective worlds. And the other reviewer is also correct: The delightfully dark twinkle in all of these stories is fantastic, something that maybe the shorter format of a story helps keep fresh.
Perfect bite-size entertainment

I don't read short stories that frequently, but this collection was a real pleasure. Each story is tightly written, with well-drawn characters and a crafty plot. Best of all is the evil cackle in the author's voice which comes through loud and clear in each and every story.
