Tears are like blood in the water for sharks, spill a few and a predator will move in.

But keeping everything shut up tight inside you is dangerous.

A great cop. Well, I think, until he wasn’t

Sleeveless vest? Aren’t vest sleeveless?

But I’m so tired that I turn on a baseball game…lie down on the couch, and promptly fall asleep. The ball game ends up watching me

A lot of things going on

Cataclysmically

We’ve born into a world of flames, and you can spend you whole life trying to put the fires out. But you’ll just end up old and tired, and the flames will burn on long after you’re dead.

There are so many ways it can go wrong. So, why sprint into a buzzsaw?

You have all these people and incidents around revolving one person.

Gram had added softly, “but coincidence? It just doesn’t exist.”

Not realizing everyone is out to get you!

That was the secret of a happy marriage: step away from the rage.

I read the first story The Shadow of Time, which was written in 1984. I always worry if I had read the story before since it's a reissue. I was happy to find out that I had not read this story. This story could be a lifetime movie. Good read

Did not realize it was 3 short stories. Just thought it was a Women's Murder Club Thriller.

Just getting to know the characters

Quantum of solace -the amount of comfort

Long lost relative. Haunted house! Who doesn't dream.

The Murder Inn has characters from another story. Unsure of the name of the book or series. Very smooth read, keeps you wanting to continue. This book also has the Black & Blue story included. I feel that story left a lot of unanswered questions.
