Unsavory Delicacies is a compilation of three short stories from author, Russell Brooks.
Crème Brulé is an intriguing tale about a rogue operative who entices a software engineer to sell her a piece of classified technology. The story captivates the reader quickly, and leaves them wanting more as it concludes. Memorable characters make this an enjoyable treat.
To The Last Bite is a tale of just desserts, and revenge best served cold. A harsh food critic finds that his columns can make or break a restaurant's reputation. What he doesn't realize, is how much is taken personally by certain chefs. This one isn't meant for those with a weak stomach as it has an unusual twist. I realized what had happened in this one before it was revealed, yet found it still a good read.
Shashlyk and Morezhenoe takes a look at the lives of a powerful crime family. Ridley Fox, a CIA operative is on a mission to uncover classified intelligence, however he finds out more than he bargained for when he uncovers a secret that was supposed to be kept under wraps.
All in all, three succulent morsels that will leave the reader begging for more. I'll be keeping my eye out for Brooks' future works.
