There were some good stories in this collection. The first couple of stories 'Killer on the Road' and 'Traffic" were more on the crime/murder side and I enjoyed them a lot. I didn't find the stories in the middle as good as the first ones but the book picked up again with 'Precious Blood'. Then, the highlight of the whole collection came, 'A Moment of Clarity', my favorite story by far.

In more detail, my rating of every story:

Killer on the Road: ★★★★☆
Traffic: ★★★★☆
Song of Sixpence: ★☆☆☆☆
The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down: ★★☆☆☆
Daetana Dash: ★★☆☆☆
Bully: ★★☆☆☆
Precious Blood: good★★★★☆
A Moment of Clarity: ★★★★★
Fred and Ol'Mama: ★★★★☆

Even though I didn't like some of the stories, overall the book is well written but as it usually happens with short stories collections, some will be better than others. I still enjoyed a lot my time reading this book.

I got a free copy of the book from BookSirens. All my opinions above are honest.… (altro)
