4.0
This is a superb set of short stories. The author self-deprecatingly calls them "genre fiction," but he sells the stories short. These are tight, unsentimental, often sad, but always authentic little pieces. CM has a knack for dialog, also a knack for not judging his characters.
Oh, I want to add that, although the stories are marketed as "crime," several of them also present themselves as ghost stories. I wonder if the author has been reading Algernon Blackwood or even M.R. James?
Highly recommended.
