The long stories in this collection contain much humor and many curious characters, but they also have their dark sides and they resonate with suspense. These are stories of family secrets and unrequited love, madness and murder, nuns and ghosts, performing seals and a driving dog. Shelagh Scoville is a fine spinner of yarns, with a style reminiscent of Somerset Maugham: she takes her time, hooks her reader, and then delivers great rewards. Book jacket.
