Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.

The Unremarkable Heart ★★★☆☆

The Unremarkable Heart, and Other Stories - Karin Slaughter, Shannon Cochran

This was an odd collection of short stories, and not at all what I expected, based on the Slaughter novels that I've read. Overall, very good, but also very grim. There were a few with fun, O Henry type twists, and each story is well constructed and does not leave the reader hanging as some authors do in this format.

 

Audiobook, borrowed from my public library via Overdrive. The audio quality is not great, but Shannon Cochran gives a strong performance.
