Each author gives the mystery genre his or her own twist, with results from humorous to the macabre. In This Lightning Always Strikes Twice, you will visit with a teacher tutoring a young woman who gets caught up in the machinations of her dysfunctional family; in the Thirteenth Day of Christmas, a couple is attempting to enjoy their Christmas holiday, but keep getting interrupted by the escalating intrusions and threats of their son, a recovering mental patient; and in Dust to Dust, a woman draws men into serious commitments they may not actually want to make via lonely-hearts ads.
