Genre: Thriller/Short
Story Collection
Description:
“Crème Brûlée
Rogue operative, Monique Beauvais, cons a software genius into selling
her a coveted technology that would allow its user to control CIA drones while
they’re in flight. And she will go as far as killing him in public in order to
have it.
To the Last Bite
A renowned food critic—whose scathing reviews have closed down
restaurants—gets a savoury surprise.
Shashlyk and Morezhenoe
CIA operative, Ridley Fox, leads a team against one of Russia’s most
powerful crime families. He discovers secrets, but not one that he was
expecting to find.
Three stories with three consequences. All containing three Unsavory
Delicacies.”
Author:
Thriller author Russell Brooks, originally from Barbados, now lives in Montreal, Canada. In addition to this small short story collection, he’s the author of three novels. For more, check out his website.
Appraisal:
Three short stories, each an extremely quick read of a couple thousand
words, that do what a thriller should do, keeping the reader engaged and curious.
You’ll be wondering what’s going on, how it is going to end, and that answer to
the second question isn’t likely to be what you’d initially guessed. Given the
title of the middle story I can’t resist saying that each story was “good to
the last word.”
