Touring London

Unfortunately, my tour of London wound up being a major case of deja vu. I would have enjoyed my wanderings a lot more if I hadn't already visited most of the sites. I had already read a great number of these stories in other collections. The highlights of the sight-seeing trip came with "A Little Place off the Edgware Road" by Graham Greene and "People Don't Do Such Things" by Ruth Rendell. Greene's story provided a clever little twist...this time it's not the murderer who gets away, but the body of the victim. And Rendell's offering provides a surprise ending for the straying wife and her lover.
