I enjoyed the mix of life & sport adventure stories. Loved the short story structure of the book & the backstory behind the title of the book. I’m more of a risk averse athlete but enjoy reading about those who are not 😃

Patrick Leber liked Bruce McIntosh's review of A Slight Trick of the Mind: "I lived this story. Sherlock at 93, is losing his memory, trying to remember his last case. He’s retired taking care of his bees. I won’t spoil anything. I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator did great. "
