This has to be one of my favorite Akashic Noir collections so far. There was only one short story that I didn’t like. While the ending on a couple of others left me scratching my head, the stories themselves were evocative and enchanting. The sense of place m, the variety of characters and stories, all combined to make a rich collection of dark tales.
