If you've been following the saga of Kit Tolliver, when you get to this story, you harken back to one of the earliest stories. But you also realize that she's got her work cut out for her if her next victim is already protected from her by prison bars. On the other hand, if you haven't been following these stories in order (& they are numbered), you might just think this is about the wackiest thing you ever read about a kinky psychopathic killer and her determination to accomplish what she believes must be done. As a short story, this is an excellent portrait of the mind of a twisted person. ( )
