About the author

Also known as Carol-Lynn Waugh

Asked to describe her work, Waugh replied: "I write children's books. I edit mystery anthologies with Martin H. Greenberg and others, and I am a very prominent entity in the world of teddy bears. This last facet has encompassed much of my work since the early 1980s. I was one of America's first teddy bear artists."

Reviews

[Dennis Fischman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This collection came out 25 years ago, and most of the stories in it date from well before that (except for the one by Linda Barnes). They include two or three stories in which a famous figure from history solves a crime, some hard-boiled detectives, some cozies, and at least one psychological thriller in which the murder is a metaphor. They tilt toward the upper end of the class ladder. If you're a mystery fan and enjoy the Boston scenery, you will certainly find something here that you like.
