This is my first time reading something by P D James and I really enjoyed it. I will definitely try more of her work soon.

Short but sweet - what an excellent unforeseen twist at the end. You already know who the murderer is from the first page, but there is yet another reveal just before the end...and I won't give you any hints to spoil it. This little package also contains a nice little essay from Mrs PD on the art of detective fiction. A bit exy considering how short it is, but hell. There isn't any more where this came from :-(

This Is Why I Don't Read Short Stories
this story is literally like 27 pages long. it is a letter written posthumously admitting to the death/execution of a former bully. i don't know what i expected but it was just over before it even began. it was fine. nothing great, nothing bad. there isn't much more i can say.
=-=-=-=
i gave this 3 stars bcos what else was i supposed to give it?

A really good short story less than 10 pages long but complete. Also an essay by the author on mystery fiction. A very quick read.
