Appleby Talks: 23 Detective Stories by Michael Innes

vsbedford's review

4.0

Engaging collection of Appleby mysteries with one truly outstanding and surprising longer piece to close out the book. Be prepared for the limits of the short story form here, more so than in other collections I read in the last few years, as you'll never guess the resolutions in about 75% of these stories (although I guess that could be more Mr. Innes' style rather than the type of book). Anyhoo, totally recommend either to dip into as a nightcap or or hunker down with a blanket and tea and finish in one sitting.

I received an ecopy from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Where Inspector Appleby recounts some of his cases to a few of his friends over drinks. These are mainly very short stories, unfortunately too short to really get involved in the stories and characters. But enjoyable enough when you have a spare ten minutes to spend reading.
