I guess there's a reason Christianna Brand isn't read widely. I like short stories, mysteries in particular, but there were no real standouts here. Some stories were just so ridiculously convoluted that the "solution" seemed incredible, in that I was unable to credit the possibility of the solution being actually achievable. There were a few good ones, some amused me, but I don't think I'll be reading more Brand.
