Tart Noir

I expected a book made up of a collection of femme fatale crime stories to be more murder based, but there were some odd crimes featured! The stories are all very different, some with a comedic edge, some are darker. Generally I enjoyed the book, thought there are some stories that were a bit odd. The advantage of this book is that the stories are all quite short, there are very few that are more than twenty pages (in fact, a lot are less), so you are not stuck trying to finish a long, drawn out tale, which keeps the book flying.
