Daphne Du Maurier is the mistress of minutiae. I'm still entagled in the first chapter of Rebecca. Curiosity kills felines so I read the abridged version of the novel. Sure I love picaresque novels but Rebecca expands beyond my limits. Mind you, minutiae in a short story is a rare treat. And such mysteries ! There are six short stories in this collection, each sui generis and quirky. They are sort of chilling n shocking. I like all of them except The Photographer.
