I thought the stories in this book were very fascinating and they peaked my interest. However, once I started to read it the writing was very flat and honestly boring. There were even a few grammar mistakes that my English teacher sister pointed out to me. Interesting stories with flat writing I was a little disappointed.

7 rather short stories about crimes that have happened in the Canadian Prairies. I knew going in they were short stories, but they felt rather glossed over and not very detailed - a little like reading a news report, but not necessarily a well-written new report.
