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

Great short stories

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
