Book Review: The Scent of Spiced Orange

Class/Genre:   Mystery   [Short Stories]
Five Star, Dec 2002, $25.95

This ten-story anthology provides several tales with unique spins on crime, criminals, and the opposition trying to solve cases or stop the felons. Each account is different seemingly running the gamut of the mystery genre from feline sleuths (how can a reader except for canine lovers not like a catnapping tale?) to a private detective Saxon tale to even an Elvis finding. Not for readers who are faithful to one sub-genre, but intended for fans who relish delightfully divergent themes. This collection ultimately displays the talents of Les Roberts (author of the Jacovich novels whose fans obviously selected Cleveland over Los Angeles) to run the mystery table.
