"A tasty introduction to Agatha Award-winner Page's popular mystery series."--Publishers Weekly
"A variety of tasty short morsels that will whet [Page's] fans' appetites...Well paced and will leave the reader satisfied, as a good short story should... [A] delectable treat."--Library Journal
"The perfect accompaniment to the summer vacation or a simple afternoon on the porch swing...delicious."--Daily News
"Serves up, in miniature, the kinds of old-fashioned puzzle mysteries that fans of writers like Agatha Christie crave."--Boston Globe
"One of the delights of short stories is that the reader can graze. If you start one and it doesn't grab you, just move to the next. In [SMALL PLATES], however, I finished all I started and wanted more, precisely what great "Small Plates" should do."--Newark Star Ledger
Katherine Hall Page, author of the beloved Faith Fairchild series, invites you to enjoy her first ever collection of short fiction. Readers will delight in the broad range of these mysteries--tales to suit every taste and mood.
Page's stories will take readers from the skyscrapers of Manhattan to the dunes of Cape Cod and "Across the Pond." Her characters include a man who longs for widowhood, dreaming of attention from the casserole brigade--good women lining up at his door with offerings of food and perhaps themselves. A British bride calls Faith and her sister for help after a series of alarming "accidents." And Faith herself is almost "Sliced" in a reality TV show when the competition turns deadly.
