Sleep No More: Six Murderous Tales by P.D. James

3.0

While these stories are all fine in themselves, as a collection they don't work well. I don't fault P.D. James for this--this anthology was assembled by her estate from previously published stories. Side by side, the plots are too similar, making the "surprise" endings predictable. Content warning about "The Girl Who Loved Graveyards": really distressing treatment of a pet.
SpoilerI temporarily had to stop reading the book to avoid hearing what happened to the cat. It was a literary version of Schrödinger's cat paradox: until I finished the story, the cat was both dead and alive.
