Peter Lovesey
Do Not Exceed the Stated Dose

Do Not Exceed the Stated Dose

Be cautious; reading too many of Peter Lovesey’s stories at once could have unexpected results. “Passion Killers” will make your toes curl for the hapless Mrs Palmer, and “The Odstock Curse” may well induce goosebumps as a Gypsy curse is repeated in the present. Among the fifteen tales are two featuring Peter Lovesey’s forthright police detective, Peter Diamond, and two with the amateur sleuth, Bertie, Prince of Wales, in rumbustious form. The collection also include “The Pushover,” winner of the Mystery Writers of America’s Golden Mysteries short story prize, and “Quiet Please—We’re Rolling,” both nominated for Britain’s Crime Writer’s Association Short Story Dagger.
