Synopsis/blurb…..
Maggie is searching
for Rachel on the Natchez Trace. Karis is on the run and bound for Mexico.
Chances are these girls are going to meet. Most likely somebody will die.
Starting 2016 the same way I exited 2015 – with a bang and
another 40-odd page story from Miss
Jennings.
Jennings doesn’t do flowery and fluffy. Hard-hitting prose,
exploring themes of domestic abuse with her victims retaining the resilience to
stand up and confront their abuser and even the score.
Powerful stuff.
4.5 from 5
I’ve a soft spot for Evangeline
Jennings and have featured her stuff fairly recently and further back in
2015 .
Plus she was also kind enough to humour me with a Q+A
session.
I can't wait to see what she does next.
Evangeline was kind enough to ping me a copy of this.

Beretta is a great title - I've been reading James Bond and it's his gun of choice, even though the armourer says it's a 'lady's gun'. And of course biretta is a hat worn by priests, important Clothes in Books knowledge.
ReplyDeleteNot got to Fleming yet - one of these years.The biretta's worn by our mob isn't it?
DeleteSounds like the setup for a great story, Col. And I remember your other posts about Jennings, too. Glad you enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteMargot thanks. She ticks a lot of boxes for me.
DeleteSounds like an interesting author.
ReplyDeleteI do like her stories, Tracy.
DeleteWhere do you find these contemporary short fiction, Col?
ReplyDeletePaul D Brazill tips me off to a lot of them. A lot of authors contact me directly - Evangeline being one example. A bit of browsing on Amazon and a few other sites - time I should be reading!
