From the back of the book:
"Who could imagine that a woman might use a frozen leg of lamb to kill her husband - and then feed it to the investigating police? or that a greedy group of art dealers would stop at nothing to separate a poor man from a valuable picture - that's tattooed on his back? from fiendishly clever Roald Dahl come eleven wicket tales that will keep readers spellbound from the opening lines until the horrifying surprise-twist endings."

Received this as my wrapped book gift at the Calgary book crossing High Tea. Not too familiar with the work of Roald Dahl except a couple of books so thanks Crataegus.
Received this at our wrapped book gift exchange but short stories aren't really my cup of tea. Will bring into the group as I'm sure there will be others who will enjoy it.
Taking to the January BookCrossing meeting to be enjoyed by the next reader.
Picked up from the January Calgary BookCrossing Meeting.
Taken to the April meeting! Definitely some macabre stories! Not scary just twisted.
