Things I realised while reading this book:
1. I love reading stories based in Trinbago (and the wider Caribbean).
2. I get bored very quickly with anthologies.
3. I need to just stop reading them.
There were some gems here and I can truly appreciate knowing the local layout of the land by heart and being touched fondly by the nuances of Trinbago culture. I was also struggling through many of the stories.

Twists galore!
Excellent twists in each story. Intriguing from beginning to end. Really gave me a vivid picture of the various Trinidad neighborhoods that I have visited. Definitely recommend.

I recently discovered the Noir series and I am hooked. Having read "Kingston Noir" I decided to read "Trinidad Noir".
I have been living in Trinidad and Tobago for the last four years and it is always so enlightening to read about a place you currently live or visited. I have to admit, while this is a Noir series I did find the book a little dark and I expected a more diverse look at Trinidad, notwithstanding, these are my standout stories:
Pot Luck
How to Make Photocopies in the Trinidad and Tobago National Archives
The Best Laid Plans
Eric's Turn
Gita Pinky Mannachandi
