It was poor in comparison to the others and I struggled with some of the scenes in it - a bit far-fetched in my opinion. I always enjoy the author's writing, and I like knowing some of the characters in the stories will not meet a happy end. I have also read a few of his stand-alones and really liked them, so when I heard he had a collection of short stories coming out, I knew I had to read them. Because I found this book quite bleak in general in the issues it explores and the conclusions that are drawn in the stories.

Toda la construcción de El hombre celoso estuvo bien hecha, pero como dije, era predecible y eso le quitaba un poco de potencia al final.

A single story about jealousy and one about power among stories on other themes would have worked better for me.

Not an immensely impressive resume of crime fiction; I would throw James Patterson in the mix, but honestly, his novels do not come close to intricacies I require. Nesbo's boozy and brooding detective Harry Hole doesn’t appear, but frankly, he isn’t required, and a bit of rest and recovery probably won't do him any harm. Budući da su upravo ti likovi bili nositelji cijele priče, ova mi je priča bila najslabiji dio zbirke, iako ima svojih čari i svidio mi se način na koji završava. Dark tales of vengeance, justice, and love gone wrong in societies where everyone would do anything to survive.In "Trash" we have an angry and jealous bin lorry driver who really cleans up after himself and "The Confession" has a particularly delicious Twist!
