Highway Thirteen: Stories by Fiona McFarlane
4.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

I was hesitant going into this, as short stories are not always my thing. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this collection! 

Each of the stories includes a person somehow impacted by a serial killer in Australia. At the start of each story, I was anxious to figure out how the people in that story were connected to the killer. Some stories were definitely more gripping than others, but I really appreciated each of them controbuting to the mosaic of the killer's story. 

This book reminded me how interconnected we all are. I recommend if you are into true crime or enjoy short stories.
