Get Ready for an Impossible Crime or Nine

This is a collection of short stories and novellas that feature Jaya Jones as she finds herself involved in some locked room mysteries. The title story was originally written for this collection and involves a murder and theft at a local art museum. In another, after being stranded in Denver due to snow, Jaya must figure out who killed an author in the hotel’s library. She also gets involved in a theft and disappearance at a conference. A couple of stories star Jaya’s friend Sanjay, and one of Sanjay’s stories finds him trying to solve a murder on an island off the coast of San Franciscos. There’s also a story featuring Tempest, the main character of the author’s Secret Staircase Mysteries. In the final story, Jaya must figure out who stole a valuable chess set.

All told there are nine stories in this collection. I might have been ahead of Jaya a couple of times, but for the most part, I was kept guessing until the end. And the stories are all fun. The collection jumps around in Jaya’s life, but there aren’t spoilers for the novels, so anyone new to her world could use this as an introduction. It’s fun to see many of the characters from the series pop in and out, and the new characters serve the stories well. I’m glad I’m up to date on Jaya’s adventures and look forward to seeing what she gets up to when the series continues next year.

Religion is interesting.

I have always been curious about different religions and their practices. This is a podcast of people telling their stories about their religious life and how they escaped it.
