Excellent collection of short stories.

I usually find short stories disappointing but this collection was different. It kept my interest throughout and I enjoyed each one. I like the way it brought all the author’s characters up-to-date- more of this please.

Bringing all her old characters together in the final story was a nice touch, excellent.

I thought that the choice of material used was spot on, good to hope for more new stories.

A little different but as always, very good

It was fun to hear the different stories and little snippets from Ruth's later life and others we've met before. one story I knew from many years ago but it came fresh to this time!!! all in all, a surprisingly good delve into 'other' genre or perhaps just snippets from another life!! most enjoyable if not quite so captivating.

Fabulous.

I really enjoyed all of these stories. Loved having Ruth and Nelson connect to Harbinder and Max Mephisto. My absolute favourite was Flint telling the story as he saw it, just so like a cat would think and so true to life as I know it! Thanks so much Elly Griffiths and all involved such a pleasure!
