"In the England of murder mysteries and TV detectives, no destination is deadlier than a quaint country village, and you never know you're in a murder village until it's too late. No attraction or local character is safe--whether in the pub for a pint, or on the manicured grounds of the local estate for a shooting party, bodies can turn up anywhere! Danger lurks around every cobblestone corner. If you are foolish enough to make the trip, at least be prepared. Brought to life with dozens of Gorey-esque illustrations by Jay Cooper and peppered with allusions to classic crime series and unmistakably British murder lore, Your Guide to Not Getting Murdered in a Quaint English Village gives you the tools you need to avoid the same fate, should you find yourself in a suspiciously cozy English village (or simply dream of going). Good luck, and whatever you do, avoid the vicar and don't drink the tea"--

Another story relates the hidden life of a well-known actor who is rediscovered by his lost daughter. Another describes how a woman intends to keep our late husband alive, quite literally, because she cannot bear the thought of his passing. Another describes the thoughts of a young girl whose father is Jewish but whose mother is Protestant and the peculiar way she views religion after her parents break up. Another uses a dog's view of his master and his girlfriend who he (the dog) does not like. More than 30 unforgettable, gripping stories that describe an eclectic group of characters of men and women who are concerned with an entire range of problems from sex to marriage to maintaining life itself.
