"Small-town librarian Lindsey Norris must solve a murder and a missing person's case involving two reclusive brothers"--

A Likely Story

Sarah Sammis

Just as most slasher stories that involve taxidermy, cross dressing, or cannibalism stem from Ed Gein, hoarding siblings in old houses all stem from Homer and Langley Collyer. The only difference here is that the brothers haven't had a chance to be killed and/or entombed by their junk. Instead, someone has killed the one and is threatening the other.

I'm not a fan of stories derived from either source. The temptation to rework the sorted details to fit the newest fiction does a disservice to the new story. This version is no different. Put simply, this mystery is clunky.
