A compendium of short stories for tea-time reading or whenever you have a spare moment. The stories come in all genres from historical, to environmental and even murder. From story number one where we meet Muriel on her Mission through to Maisie in the final story on her Journey Home. In between we find out what Dr MacKenzie does when he learns that his wife is unfaithful in The Bare Bones and follow Hugo on his murder trail in Murder Sch-murder and what do those children get up to in the mediaeval church in Whispers in the Dark.
