I really enjoyed this book, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. It's more of a character study that eventually involves murder then it is a murder mystery. The actual murder doesn't happen till well over half the book is done, but by that time you are definitely aware that some sick person is ...
To be perfectly honest, this is a book written for a very specific group of people. I happen to be one of those people, or this would have been a three- or four-star review, most likely.

Her sense of dark comedy is amazing and while all the stories were really enjoyable th...
I love David Sedaris and I went to see him live... he recommended some books to read and then I found this collection he compiled. I am not a huge fan of short stories. I like them only if the story completes itself and isn't all about symbolism and themes. A few stories I loved and some I couldn't ...
