About This Item

Advance Uncorrected Proof of this novel containing two novellas #1 The Train Now Departing and #2 When The Mouse Trap Closes. In fine unread condition.

Synopsis

Featuring the two novellas: The Train Now Departing and When “The Mousetrap” Closes “Full of suspense and surprise. These carefully written little gems showcase Grimes at her best.”— Library Journal “Grimes has created a work of value here, a book that expands her art, her reputation—and possibly her audience.”— The Richmond-Times Dispatch “Atmospheric and chilling…Grimes [exhibits] a complete mastery of emotional nuance and [a] virtuoso treatment of the grayest coloration.”— The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) “Intelligent…Merits applause.”— The Toronto Star “As atmospherically evocative as [an] Edward Hopper painting.”— The Washington Post “An a cappella novella, each note strong and noncompetitive.”— Los Angeles Times “Grimes once again demonstrates her keen eye for character. Both of these languidly paced novellas focus on middle-aged women who long for respite from their narrow, disappointing lives and find it, at least temporarily, in the company of a man…Thoughtful, compelling, even dark stories—for readers more inclined toward investigating emotions than searching for armchair adventure.”— Booklist

About Scene of the Crime Books, ABAC, IOBA

My wife and I have been operating Scene of the Crime Books since 1996. In 2004 we attempted to go against the market and open a storefront on Oakville Ontario. In August 2006 we closed the brick and mortar and humbly went back to just internet. We now do internet and appointment only through our home. So if you're in our neighborhood let us know 24 hours ahead of time. Thank you. Don Longmuir
