After reading and enjoying The Unfaithful Wife: An Epistolary Narrative, I wanted to read more of this author's work and gravitated towards this story. Unfortunately, this story was uber short and not as gripping. There's a great twist at the end, though!

I picked up this book to diversify my reading tastes with a nice thriller, and this short story intrigued me. It was a really quick read with a good ending. I feel that I can't say much since it's so short, it would give the whole story away. If you are looking for a nice quick thriller, I would recommend this! Though I would warn you: careful with this if you're squeamish!

My first book by the author that I thoroughly enjoyed. In such a short story Mayumi Cruz managed to turn a romantic dinner into a crime without us even suspecting it. A very enjoyable work highly recommended. I'll look forward to reading a lot more books by the author.
