A Bargain of Short Fiction at Any Price

First off, you should know that I am a writer myself ("The Legacy" (ISBN 0972005021), a historical mystery; "Ordinary Lives" (ISBN 09720050050, a collection of short fiction; "River Stories" (ISBN 0972005013), a collection of essays; and "Pigs, A Trial Lawyer's Story" (ISBN 097200503X). I feel it's important for other readers to know where a review is coming from. Having made that disclosure, I will also disclose that I had no idea who Cary Fagan was until I walked into the Coles Bookstore in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and picked up a copy of "The Doctor's House" from the discount bin. .... The stories, nearly all novellas in length, are quality fiction, with well crafted plots and subtle shifts in character that are the mark of a great writer. Only one story, "The Village Angel" was less than stellar. I found the ending flat. But given the quality of the other pieces, I'm willing to overlook a mild disappointment or two. All in all, a wonderful collection.
