As might be expected of such a collection, the selections are uneven, but even a critical reader is likely find some to be highly effective. For my part, I found a few to be outstanding: Peter Staub's "Pork Pie Hat" (a Faulkneresque contribution), Brendan DuBois' "The Necessary Brother", Lawrence Block's "Keller on Horseback", and Sharyn McCrumb's "Old Rattler". Other notable choices include Robert Barnard's "The Gentleman in the Lake", Wendy Hornsby's "High Heels in the Headliner", and Barbara Collins' "The Ten Lives of Talbert," plus 8 others that I've marked for rereading. Listed below are the included stories, along with my ratings (on a five star system). I do tend to be parsimonious with high ratings.
