Author:

Diana Hockley lives in a small town in rural Australia with her husband and seven pet rats. In addition to several short stories, Hockley also has two novels available.

Description:

“Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you...”

Appraisal:

As I try to figure out what to say about Requiem for a Lost Youth I think of a point, then say, “nope, that gives away too much.” All I can say is that there are at least two mysteries and a character or two who have a youthful indiscretion that comes back to haunt them, all packed in just a few thousand words. A quick, yet satisfying read.

Format/Typo Issues:

No significant issues


Rating: **** Four stars

This is like Christmas, two reviews for two short stories in a couple of days!

Thank you for taking the time to read and review this little story set in my childhood country town here in Australia. It's greatly appreciated :)
