The Little Men by Megan AbbottMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
When Penny, a Hollywood makeup artist, moves into a low priced bungalow, she gets more than she bargained for. Will she find out what happened to the former tenant before the same thing happens to her?
I got this from Netgalley.
This short story from Megan Abbott is a tale of madness and suicide. Since it's really short, I'm going to skip over the nuts and bolts of the plot. Suffice to say, the Megster ran wild on me yet again, serving up misdirection and possibilities, before kicking me in the groin with the ending. My appetite for more Megan Abbott has been whetted so I really hope she's got another novel simmering.
In this short tale, Megan Abbott proves that she can pack a lot of noir into a short story. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
