Dark and Deep: Ten Coffee Break Crime Stories
Serial killers, revenge seekers, trained assassins, and a rather sinister teddy bear... they’re all here in this chilling little collection of coffee break crime stories. There are ten in total - enough to get you through a fortnight of mid-morning coffee breaks.
Many of the tales will have your hair standing on end, but the author’s grim brand of humour is never far away.
So put the kettle on, break out the biscuits, and prepare to visit some dark places.

This is a great introduction to Dave Sivers' writing. These ten stories are dark and different but with a bit of humour thrown in to lighten the mood! Well worth 99p!

OK read
The stories are different and some were not as good as the other twisted stories in the book. But readable.
