Editorial Reviews

Review

"An emotional rollercoaster with Watkins' usual whiplash endings"

"Each of these fascinating stories begs the same question of the reader: given the circumstances, what would you do?"

"Another heart-stopping set of thrillers to keep you guessing until the very end"

3.0 out of 5 stars Murder option 2
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2014

Murder option 2 is a collection of three short stories. The first collection was better. The first story in the second collection is titled Killing Colonel Meyer. It tackles the important issue of women being sexually abused in the military. All three stories are about revenge. The ending of these stories are unexpected. Great collection for short story buffs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different type of murder stores, each with a twist.
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2017

Series of short stores with a different twist. Sometimes the bad guy deserves killing - and sometimes is killed. Other times vengeance takes another path. I particularly liked Killing Colonel Mayer. There are twist and turns in each story. Different characters - some of whom I liked and others not so much. Worth your time to read this different take on murder stories.

I just cant condone the glorification or even display of ways to justify killing. I know we all harbor thoughts at times but to have a story show the successful completion of several crimes does not sit well with me. I would really not suggest the reading of this set of novels. regardless of the seemingly great solution to problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable read
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2014

There are three short stories in this collection. Each is first-rate: original plots populated with unusual characters. Stories hold your interest from the first paragraphs. The endings left me with a satified smile. The author has mastered the art of short story writing. Reviewed by the author of The Children's Story, About Good and Evil.

The stories were thoughtful and possible but you also hope the events will not lead to anyone's death. Wishful thinking?

I haven't finished the last novel yet, but I have to say I'll be sooty when I do, because I've enjoyed ALL of them so much. I can't pick one above the others, because they are all polished, intriguing and unputdownable.
