Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-20 00:00:00 Peter Gotout Well the 1st novella, which the book is titled after, was just kinda like, "Meh." In truth, it became tedious. After they discussed the planned river trip in the Amazon I had to skip to the end and see if what I expected to happen was indeed what happened, b/c I really could not get through reading anymore of that monotony. Well, what I expected did happen, so I scanned the final pages to see that I hadn't missed anything that would add to the tale. Nope, so I called it (thankfully) done and moved on. The second novella, When the Mousetrap Closes, was better. I manage to finish it and found the characters more interesting, if still somewhat bland. The end left me kind of, "Meh," again, but it was still way better than the other novella. Overall, I can't say I would recommend these tales to anyone. They might be better as verbal short stories when one is trying to kill time somewhere. That's how I think these tales would be best presented and received, anyway. To each their own.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-25 00:00:00 Bobby Fairchid Two stories, each centering on a middle age single woman. Both ending very sadly.
