Not Enough!
Two of mysteries best authors & all I get is twenty pages! This is not fair. It could have been so much more, even a novel! Not a fan of short stories when a novel would be so much better...

Even taking only about an hour and a half to read, this short story was a total waste of time. Bleah.

Just an okay book
Authors took their time to write a short, very short story, like a few pages long of an unhappy new story.

This was surprising. I usually love these guys, but this one didn't do it for me. Not at all believable. Sorry.

Excellent story. Only gave it 3 stars because the price of 12.99 is high for a book that can be read in under 15 minutes.

Read like a teaser for a novel. Not satisfying as a stand-alone read.
