"Jack McDevitt has been a Sherlock Holmes fan since he was a teenager, although he reports that Holmes-style mysteries, whodunits, are not his favorite style. Jack encountered Gilbert Chesterton's Father Brown tales a few years later and they ultimately became the prime influence in his science fiction. The issue with Father Brown was never a question of who committed the murder, but rather what in heaven's name is going on here?"--Publisher's description. No library descriptions found. |

I like Jack’s novels but his short stories he seems to have a tough time ending the story. I felt several of these shorts ended way too abruptly or just suddenly stopped.
Many of these tales would probably make good novelettes. The better tales involved Priscilla Hutch and an early Alex Benedict story. Both were fun and I guess I was more familiar with these two, having read several novels involving them.
Overall not a bad collection.
