The McCone Files by Marcia Muller
4.0
Collection of short stories, covering the years Sharon McCone worked with All Souls. These were lovely to read, to get bits filled in between the novels.
One thought that struck me: on entering a room, how would Sharon know a comforter is goose down? Only thing I have thought of is perhaps synthetic filled comforters had polyester exteriors in that time period in terms of what was typically on the market in California, with goose down being covered in cotton? Or possibly it was a down filled duvet without cover on it?
Internal misgendering (two sentences) within one story, Silent Night, (of the “which pronoun do I use?” variety), as well as use of term transvestite. Consider time period depicted and when these stories were written.
