 This was... ok. I've read a couple of Hannah's other works and I think her strengths lie more in novel-length books than in short stories. It felt like some of the stories were too long and others didn't really go in any direction. Based on Hannah's other works that I've read and the book's description, I figured that this book would be a collection of thrillers/mysteries, but the stories just weird and off-putting more than anything. I dunno, not really my speed unfortunately.
