A review of Three Twisted Stories by Karin Slaughter - Four*

A review of Three Twisted Stories by Karin Slaughter - Four*

Blurb: 

From the hallucinatory noir story 'Go Deep' to the twisted short stories 'Necessary Women' and 'Remmy Rothstein Toes the Line,' this collection showcases the Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author’s dark humour, limitless imagination, and masterly command of voice and character. 

('Go Deep' and 'Remmy Rothstein Toes the Line' also available as single stories and 'Necessary Women' also available as part of a bundle with 'The Mean Time')



Review: 

Anyone buying these stories and expecting Karin Slaughter's usual cop fare will be very disappointed! The clue is in the title. This is a collection of a novella and two short stories. They are very dark, sinister, and, surprisingly, humorous. I read all three to the end but can't say they were my cup of tea. However, they were well written and I enjoyed the black humour. I'm sure readers who enjoy darker literature will find them excellent!
