Mean Rooms: A Short Story Collection (Five Star First Edition Mystery Series)

Rating:
Summary: A must-read for Julie Smith fans!
Review: If you sometimes get nostalgic for some of her past characters and more light-hearted story telling, this book is definitely for you. Although the stories in this collection are very short, ranging from 5 to 20 pages in length, they all properly spotlight the writer's incredible talent and fertile imagination, and beg to be read more than once. I only wish that the stories were presented in chronological order by publication date, so as to better exhibit the evolution of her writing style, which has steadily matured and improved over the years. This is an altogether wonderful reading experience.
