Short Fiction

In "The Body in the Dunes", Faith's vacation offers more excitement than she and her husband bargained for when a terrified woman knocks on their hotel room door looking to hide from her husband. In "The Proof Is Always in the Pudding", Faith investigates a generations-old superstition that has been passed down in her husband's family. Faith and her sister, Hope, counsel a bride-to-be suffering a number of alarming accidents before the big day in Across the Pond. In "Sliced", Faith switches from contestant to detective when a cooking competition turns deadly. Also included is the Agatha Award-winning "The Would-Be Widower", about a husband who longs to be rid of his wife, and "Hiding Places", in which a young wife's new husband may not be all that he appears.

Surprisingly good

Don't usually care much for short stories, but this leaves me wanting more. Many more. They are quite delightful and each unique in its own way. Well worth the read.

Mini -Faith Fairchild Stories

Most of these stories are about caterer, mother, wife Faith Fairchild. Some of the stories are quite entertaining, with a few being less so. The shorter ones were my favorites. Most of the stories only have Faith and sometimes one family member, but no Pix.

Narrator is good.

I would have rated this higher, but I do not like the use of some extremely foul language. Most of KHP's books are considered "cozy". They didn't add to the stories.

Don’t bother

All of the stories are silly, and several are unpleasant. The narrator does not supply the charm that is missing from the text.
