This is a book of five short stories:

Don’t Look Now
Not After Midnight
A Border-line Case
The Way of the Cross
The Breakthrough

I like to try to read my way through an author’s complete works eventually, which is why I read this book.

I do quite enjoy short stories and these ones reminded me a bit of Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected with their unpredictable endings.

Part of the reason that I started reading du Maurier again is that after reading Rule Britannia I was intrigued by her attitude to Americans and I wondered if this was something which was a feature of her later books.

I’ve come to the conclusion that she just wasn’t a fan for some reason as so far she seems to take any opportunity to be disparaging. The research continues!
