The Train now Departing
Martha GrimesThe Train Now Departing and When "The Mousetrap" Closes
"Full of suspense and surprise. These carefully written little gems showcase Grimes at her best."--Library Journal
"Grimes has created a work of value here, a book that expands her art, her reputation--and possibly her audience."--The Richmond-Times Dispatch
"Atmospheric and chilling...Grimes exhibits] a complete mastery of emotional nuance and a] virtuoso treatment of the grayest coloration."--The Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
"Intelligent...Merits applause."--The Toronto Star
"As atmospherically evocative as an] Edward Hopper painting."--The Washington Post
"An a cappella novella, each note strong and noncompetitive."--Los Angeles Times
"Grimes once again demonstrates her keen eye for character. Both of these languidly paced novellas focus on middle-aged women who long for respite from their narrow, disappointing lives and find it, at least temporarily, in the company of a man...Thoughtful, compelling, even dark stories--for readers more inclined toward investigating emotions than searching for armchair adventure."--Booklist
