ترکیب متوسطي از Memento و Memories of Murder بود.
نکته مثبتش این بود که نویسنده بیشتر از پتانسیل داستان کتاب رو کش نداد و کوتاه تمومش کرد.
صدای هوتن شکیبا خیلي به فضای داستان نشسته بود، از خوانشش خیلي لذت بردم.

The title story, "Diary of a Murderer", carried this book into the three-star range for me. The collection was 70% "Diary of a Murderer" and 30% "and other stories". I actually forgot about the other stories until the first ended and I was left with an empty, disappointed feeling. To be honest, it was the strongest story in the collection.

I'm not sure if it's because of the difference in the length, but the stories felt like they were getting shorter and shorter as the book went on. I also know that it was not promised, but I was hoping that all of the stories would tie into the first one. The rest of the stories really brought my average rating down. Overall, it was a short read and worth it, if just for "Diary of a Murderer".

Picked this up because of the title story, which I thought was great! The other stories were okay, but not near the caliber that Diary of a Murderer was unfortunately. Good, but not amazing. 

Les réminiscences du passé font-elles les vestiges du jour? L’homme tue, mais ne se souvient pas. L’homme déteste, mais il ne sait qu’il est l’objet de sa haine. Et l’homme se meurt, pris au piège, prodige qu’il est, il ne sait que l’assassin de son être n’est autre que lui.
