Yet another foray into the beautifully twisted mind of a great story teller.
I once again had the privilege of listening to this compilation and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The compilation contained everything, the pain of loss, double lives, apocalyptic parallels, enchanted artefacts, revenge, sociopaths, psychopaths, and the mentally unstable, all neatly wrapped up with the latest escapades of our favourite traveller.
JT, you have done another superb job. Thank you for the many journeys!

Good selection of short stories. I liked the continuation of the traveling slacks story and how it tied in with another story from an earlier volume and gave a little more insight. I also enjoy the continuing stories about the detective who just wants to retire to her farm, but keeps getting sucked back into the job because she is so darn good at it. Nicely done, JT. I look forward to your next volume!

JT Lawrence has fast become one of my favourite authors, and this collection of short stories is no exception.
Does anyone else love it when an author works in references to their other stories? Because I love it, personally, and JTL is great at it.
The Shelter and Memory, Mirrors and the World Inside My Head (which really shows off JTL's incredible imagination) were my favourites in this volume.
Can't wait for the next one!

JT Lawrence is back with volume three of Sticky Fingers! I really hope she keeps these books going as I have truly enjoyed all of this short story series. They can be read as standalones, but I would recommend reading them consecutively as there are appearances from ‘repeat characters’. This was a pleasant surprise to experience.
The narrator for all three Sticky Fingers is Roshina Ratnam, and like Lawrence she is also South African. Once you adjust to her ‘accent’ you will love her voice! She does a superb job with the narrations.
As with the previous volumes, I will share some mini-reviews of some of the stories I enjoyed:
The Shelter:
OMG, this one was excellent and I need more of this story! This is the kind of story that pulls me in. If you enjoy dystopian stories, this will be one to read!
Lucky Strike:
A good one: be careful who you might double cross!
The Hostage Situation:
This one is every parent’s worst nightmare. I am thinking it must be autobiographical when Lawrence dealt with a sick child.
Every Breath You Take:
A prison interview: I really enjoyed this disturbing story on obsession/love.
Blackwater Estuary:
Another disturbing story I did not want to end. A witch hunt….. I find those kinds of stories fascinating.
Perky Pilgrim:
Jeffrey Sacks is back and sharing more reviews! This one is a continuation and very enjoyable!!!
If you enjoy short stories that are a bit twisted, this is the series of books to read. You will not regret it. I hope Lawrence continues to bring us more Sticky Fingers volumes!
