These stories are not tidy whodunits but offer a peek into the mean rooms where murderous impulses fester and finally explode. Several stories feature Smith's regular detectives, attorney Rebecca Schwartz, and police officer Skip Langdon. Others feature new characters. Smith's stories are funny, grim, satirical, and fascinating: a group of co-workers decide to kill their boss, a grief counselor is so full of his own psychobabble that he misunderstands a murder confession, a writer protects her lover's murderer because she understands the killer's motives, a psychic can't foretell her own murder.
