‘The Missing Butler and Other Life Mysteries’
by J. Schlenker is an eclectic collection of
light-hearted, generally humorous short stories that each deliver something for the reader to muse on. Whether this is a moral or just an entertaining idea varies from one story to the next. While some are more thought-provoking than others, each story is well-written in Schlenker’s conversational, easy-going style.
This was a good collection to pick up and put down throughout the busy Christmas-New Year holiday period, and would easily suit readers with busy and demanding lifestyles, as well as those who just enjoy a good short story from time to time.
