One of the faster reads I've read in quite a few years! This book follows an unofficial private investigator, dealing with cases in a city outside of New York. It contains 3 different short stories that are loosely interconnected and delivers a quite thrilling array of mysteries waiting to be solved.

I usually don't tend to read short stories, I'm not sure why though, since I love writing them! This was a very nice introduction to short stories and I will admit I prefer thrillers/mysteries that aren't overly drawn out, so that I can reach the conclusion faster and satisfy my curiosity!

What I found both intriguing and not so much to my liking, was the writing. It's very straightforward, with short sentences, almost devoid of emotion and suspense. On one hand, this makes, as I said, for an extremely fast read. On the other hand, it doesn't create the necessary atmosphere a thriller needs to have to be thoroughly enjoyable.

Overall, I liked this book and since it's my first from this author, I will definitely read more from him, as I'm trying to dive deeper into thrillers/mysteries this year!
