Book by Collins, Barbara

Ever wonder what health and culinary standards apply to those cozy little bed and breakfasts that dot the countryside? In "Dead and Breakfast," the menu choices would tempt even Hannibal Lecter. Max Allan Collins has won two Shamus awards for his Nathan Heller historical thrillers. His wife, Barbara, is a widely published master of the short mystery. Their topics in this entertaining collection range from a father-daughter private eye team getting fleeced by their office manager to a murderous gigolo being done in by his conscience and a cat with an accusing gaze. In "Seeing Red," PMS becomes a weapon, and in "A Cruise to Forget," the killer gets his just rewards in a most unusual fashion. "The World's Greatest Mother" finds police confronted by a body and three women who all confess to the murder. Each of the eight tales boasts a plot twist that Hitchcock or even Rod Serling fans will savor. Recommend this highly to all fans of mystery short fiction. Wes Lukowsky
