A review by greybeard49
The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher and Other Stories by Hilary Mantel

3.0

A varied batch of stories in terms of subject matter and quality. However despite the first 'Sorry To Disturb', which I found to be meandering and frustrating, I persevered, mainly because I really like Hilary Mantel. All the stories were well written and constructed. In some the subject matter and often the ending let them down - 'Winter Break', 'Harley Street' and 'Offences Against The Person' all had major shortcomings. The title story and the finale was excellent.
Overall disappointing.
