Short stories set around previous books

stories based around the Lacey Flint series. Did she say yes to that proposal of marriage? Listen and find out. Tessa, a character from the last Lacey book tries a bit of matchmaking. The island of South Georgia from The Split pops up. The Craftsman inspired 3 stories. All in all a good collection

Great short stories

Loved revisiting the worlds of the novels in these stories, but they can stand alone.

Gave up

But only on short stories by this author. I admire Ms Bolton and am enjoying reading her novels but somehow, these stories did not capture my attention. She is a writer who adds layer upon layer to her novels and short stories do not afford this luxury. Stick to the novels and from my experience, you won't be disappointed. Will return with regret but still with admiration for a talented author
