A potpourri of stories about murder and the mystical interspersed with moments of mirth. A fortune-teller makes predictions that turn out to be uncannily correct — to the misery of all. A couple write to each other after a long break and spar over what secrets to reveal. A woman discovers she has the power to kill whomever she wants by supernatural means. Marr often explores the issue of time. How trapped are we by the past and particularly by certain key moments? Suspenseful, surprising and, at times, poignant in their insight, these tales are never less than entertaining.
