I have been asked recently about my policy so it may be time to repeat this. Most of the publications I review I either purchase or borrow from libraries. You can send me a free copy of an anthology, collection, or magazine if you want, as long as it is published this year. I promise to start reading each story. If it is the best I read that week I will review it here.
First of all, congratulations to Wildside Press for the first issue of their new baby. Long may Black Cat Mystery Magazine prowl the mean streets.
This is Opperman's second appearance in my column.
It's Thanksgiving and newlywed Annie is supposed to be preparing a feast for her doting husband and his ungrateful mother. But then she gets a phone call from Benedict, who she hasn't heard from since before the wedding.
Ah, Benedict, who makes her skin flush and her heart race... He tells her to be at the Palisades apartments in half an hour and she is eager to oblige.
That means she has to find an excuse to slip out. Which turns out to be tougher than you might expect. And...
And I have to stop there. But, boy, I never guessed what was coming. Nice light writing, lovely ending.
