Great ending to this series. It was nice to see everyone grown up. :) The surprise story was nice too.

Lovely, interesting, action packed and page turning. The first story "Night Shield" continues to be just like all the other ones. It is also the last one in this 5 piece series. This time we meet the Daugther of Police Chief Boyd Fletcher, Allison Fletcher. She is one of the youngest detectives in the squad, having gotten Boyd's sharp instincts and Mother Cilla's witty temperament. On the other side is Jonah Blackhawk, a very successful entrepreneur, running a lot of different clubs, and also a friend of Allison's Father. When someone starts robbing unsuspecting club visitors, Allison is head of the case and is thrown into Jonah's hands, to find out and catch the bad guys. But who would have thought that both are being targeted...

The second story, though very lovely, is still a little different. The story about music composer Maggie Fitzgerald and her landscaper Cliff Delaney kept me sighing, but didn't fascinate me quite as much. When they find a sceleton in Maggies new garden, everything turns up-side-down, but she is determinded to live her life here in the country side. Sceletons, police investigations and Cliff Delaney, and all.

What avid readers of the Night Tales stories might have noticed is the different writing style the autor used in those two stories, but some might not have noticed that the second story is one of the autor's very early ones, back from 1985, while Night Shield was from 2000. There is a slight difference in style and overall atmosphere, but nevertheless is the old story really catchy. I like the tune of it, even if it is not as page-turning as the other stories.
I'm glad for the autor, that she got the change to incooperate one of her older stories into this collection. It really shows how much she has improved over the years.
