Scattered
Light
Author: Jean Rae Baxter
Scattered
Light offers a delightful spectrum of greed, murder
and revenge: a widow’s “dead” husband
suddenly returns to disturb her tranquility, a magic marble
frees a bored housewife, criminals on the run discover their
hideout is not so safe, two people paddle off in a canoe
… but only one returns. This collection of intriguing
short stories includes After Annabelle
– winner of the 2010 John Kenneth Galbraith Literary
Award.
Expertly crafted, often with psychological twists and turns,
each story is a finely-tuned exploration of ordinary people
coping with slightly off-kilter situations. People obviously
fascinate Jean Rae Baxter, and she is a master at describing
characters of all backgrounds, ages, and viewpoints. These
compelling tales offer the reader plenty of suspense, mixed
with a healthy dose of irony and more than a hint of social
observation.
