I’ve haven’t read any Agatha Christie, so I’ve only seen Miss Marple on the TV in her many guises - and I’ve enjoyed them all.
My favourite stories in the anthology were written by: Val McDermid, Natalie Haynes, Ruth Ware, Ely Griffiths and Kate Moss.

The authors mentioned above gave the most convincing re-imaginings, whilst some of the others made her sound more modern, or Americanisms had slipped in - which is definitely very un-Marple-ish!

All in all, it’s a very enjoyable anthology, and I did like all of the stories.

Thanks to The Pigeonhole and to all the authors that contributed (the US cover actually shows who all of the authors are).
  
Holy Schnikez, Scottie Young is bonkers! But in a good way. This eschews the fairy tale genre like the old Fractured Fairy Tale segments on Rocky and Bullwinkle, or the more recent Shrek, but it's more about attacking the tropes than specific stories. Attacking them with a big, sugar coated, double-bladed axe...

Overall Difficult Women is a pretty good set of stories. Since this is the first I've read from this author I didn't know what to expect, but I really love her writing style.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind
The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind
2017 | Massively Multiplayer
Morrowind, despite being hugely improved from the base game, still isn't going to scratch that itch. But this new chapter is one of the most encompassing and charming repositories for great stories
Critic- Matthew Sakuraoka-Gilman
Original Score: 7.5 out of 10

I am not a huge fan of war stories but this one was gripping and very well written. She went into the mind of Jack and pulled out every nightmare and everything he went through and wrote it into this amazing short story. It was amazing and the writing was superb and wonderful.

This is a topic I love to read about, well this and any other disaster. This book was well researched but it seemed a bit repetitive. It just kept jumping all over the place. The facts are correct and the stories are good but there may have been a few too many included.
