Bittersweet Revenge
Stories of Love, Hate, Mystery, and Intrigue

Bob Brown  

Bittersweet Revenge is a collection of Bob Brown’s writings. His distinctive voice resonates throughout the stories, yet each tale is unique. They encompass contemporary and historical fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.

The stories are intended for light reading and a few may be too farfetched for real life—or are they? In Queen for a Day Swindell didn’t say, “I’m here to steal your wife,” but that is what he meant. Mission in Trouble is a nonfiction mystery about Captain Hall, a North Pole explorer who died and was buried in Greenland in 1871 after claiming the ship’s doctor had poisoned him. Sinister humor dominates A Murder Misery when Don murders his business partner with ironic consequences. But humor is absent in Moon Shadows, a bleak tragedy about Molly, a nineteenth century prairie woman, who must bury her best friend in the middle of a cheerless moonlit night.

Each story in Bittersweet Revenge is a quick read with a beginning, middle, and end, ideal for a coffee break, a wait at a doctor’s office, or a lazy afternoon in a hammock.
