Of Course You Know That Chocolate Is a Vegetable and Other Stories (Five Star First Edition Mystery Series) - Hardcover
Rezensionen
Best known for her Cat Marsala series, D'Amato also writes mysteries featuring Chicago cops Suze Figuero and Norm Bennis. Marsala appears twice in this collection of a dozen short stories, while Figuero and Bennis figure in seven. Most interesting is "See No Evil," which brings Marsala together with Bennis and Figuero. Bennis has been accused of killing a bad guy out of anger, and Marsala must prove his innocence. Although series fans will enjoy the majority of the stories included here--those featuring D'Amato's familiar characters--the others are a mixed bag. "I Vant to Be Alone" is a weird take on the Garbo line, and the title story is a gruesome, unamusing tale in which a disgruntled writer murders a reviewer who criticized her book. Often, the authors of mystery series use short stories as a way of stretching themselves, but in D'Amato's case, the stretches don't quite work. Here's hoping she's ready to get back to doing what she does best--series characters. Jenny McLarin
