The Black Stocking

Summary: Read them all! Rue Morgue Press, publish the rest
Review: I read the Constance & Gwenyth Little books in the 1950's and loved them then. I still do. Of course, they are a bit dated and everyone smokes like a chimney, but we all did in those days after WWII. The characters are charming and a bit "nuts" but the books are a romp and pure escapism. One can read them in one sitting and chuckle aloud. Certainly not serious fiction, but who cares with the Littles. I certainly hope Rue Morgue will publish the remaining titles particularly Black Shrouds and Black Rustle as I (selfishly) have never read them.

Summary: What a Little gem!
Review: Now *this* is how mystery should be done. Snappy dialogue, madcap action, well-rounded characterization. This one's got it all, like one of your favorite old-time movies translated perfectly onto the page. This was my first read from the Little sisters, but it definitely won't be my last.
