Love is a battlefield. Who will get out of it alive?Harry Duncan Wood runs a hotel in the historic city of Bath with his beautiful young wife. When he falls in love with Mill House, an old greystone farmhouse on the banks of river Avon among the soaring hills of Somerset, and sets about moving his family there, the first appearances of the cracks in the marriage take him by surprise. Is his wife seeing another man? Duncan needs to get to the bottom of the affairs for his own sanity. Sometimes, however, ignorance is bliss and will also keep everybody alive.Jac Wright is a published poet, a published author, and an electronics engineer who lives in England. The Closet is the first in Wright's collection of literary short fiction, Summerset Tales, in which Wright explores characters struggling against their passions and social circumstances in the contemporary semi-fictional region of England called Summerset, but with an added element of suspense. The collection is published as individual tales in the tradition of Charles Dickens' The Pickwick Papers and Thomas Hardy's Wessex Tales. The first Summerset tale, The Closet, accompanies the first title in the author's full-length literary suspense series, THE RECKLESS ENGINEER, published by Soul Mate Publishing, New York.Website: http://jacwrightbooks.wix.com/jacwright… (mehr)

Four Stars only because of the HUGE CLIFFHANGER! I did not go into this short story expecting a cliffhanger that really left me pissed off that we did not have an answer to the most important part of the PLOT. I am also upset that the next book is not ready for me to read. What I will say is that this was a BRILLIANTLY written story that had me on the edge of my seat until the end. Jac Wright took me to a new level in this book and I loved it. I could feel the emotions of the characters and felt like I was in the closet too! I just want to know what happens next and I am entirely too frustrating that this book was brilliant! ( )

Duncan is seeking prove that his wife is having an affair. When Duncan's wife and Realtor begin talking it shocks Duncan what they're saying. Duncan gets the message out and rescued by the police. What does Duncan's wife plan? Your answers await you in The Closet.

This character driven tale just proves that humanity isn't as good as it appears to be. I feel bad for Duncan. His wife's a total bitch. I would definitely read more of this author's work in the future. ( )

I was given this short story in exchange for an honest review.

This is one short story that I could see as a book. The author has a very descriptive style of writing which helps the reader create the world in his/her head. I could hear the sounds the character was hearing, see what he was seeing. Enjoyed the storyline and definitely wanted more. Can't wait to read more by this author. ( )

This is a fairly well-written short story... I found it to be very engaging, although it does come off a bit like something televised on Lifetime. While reading it I seriously thought this would be about the main character losing it, but there was an unexpected plot twist. It's a quick read - I definitely recommend giving it a try. ( )
