I really liked this! Not edge of your seat suspenseful but engaging nonetheless. I will definitely read more of Oats as I like her style of giving the reader clues. Most of these short stories are not tied up in a neat package at the end. There is room for discussion.

I‘m two stories into this short story collection and liking it. It‘s my first Oats.
I really want to talk to someone after this first story. What did they think? What did they sense? Did they come to the same conclusion as me? Great to discuss.
