Edith Maxwell’s short stories and novellas include eight entries from 2012 to 2016. The collection covers a variety of mystery scenarios, from Reduction in Force (2012) to The Mayor and the Midwife (2016), which connects to her Quaker Midwife series.
The shorter format shows Maxwell working at a different pace than her novels. Stories like Just Desserts for Johnny (2014) and The Importance of Blood (2014) demonstrate her ability to set up and resolve a mystery in a compact space.
