What one reader said about, People Behaving Badly.
Dear John,
The phrase “the folly of criminal behavior” stood out to me because your collection seems less interested in polished criminals and more interested in what happens when ordinary people make one terrible decision and then have to live with where it leads.
That becomes especially interesting across thirteen separate stories. A jealous spouse, a thief who thinks he has the upper hand, someone hiding behind a code of ethics, or a seemingly harmless act of kindness can all become the starting point for something much darker.
I also like the format of People Behaving Badly. Each story is compact enough to finish in one sitting, but the variety gives readers plenty of different situations to compare. Which characters did they understand? Which choices seemed justified until the consequences appeared? And at what point does bad judgment become something more serious?
Dear reader, thank you for the kind words.
