Short stories, some good some great 

I found this collection to be a little hit or miss, but the ones that hit...good stuff.

Unfortunately, there's lots of internalized misogyny that somehow make it externally and plenty of casual racism so do keep that in mind. 

Those last two stories, though...*chef's kiss*

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics! Mr Parker Pyne deals in the latter.
