In his first ever collection of short stories, this master of crime delivers a gripping, edge-of-your seat read that you won’t be able to put down.

Some of the stories were reminiscent of Roald Dahl's unexpected tales, as they were dark with clever twists. Kratka priča meni je osobno vrlo zanimljiv književni format, u kojem romanopisci često baš i ne briljiraju. If I am being honest I DNF this book because some of the stories I found to be anti climatic and confusing. A passenger flying from New York to London decides to part with life after discovering that her husband is having an affair with her best friend.In a collection of stories that seeks to entertain as much as it educate, Nesbø delves as deeply as possible to offer something for everyone. Too hurt to take anything at all from the overgrown villa in Vinderen where we had shared both the good and – the way I remembered it – the very few bad days. We are introduced to two best friends on their way to the running of the bulls in Pamplona when they fall in love with the same girl and, in the epic and vicious finale, we meet a psychologist who also happens to be an assassin. Meet a detective on the trail of a man suspected of murdering his twin; a hired assassin facing his greatest adversary; and two passengers meeting by chance on a plane, spelling romance or something far more sinister. I’m a huge fan of Jo Nesbo and Knopf publishing for their amazing mysteries in the most chilling settings!

There was something in his eyes, a pain I recognised from my own reflection in the mirror back then. I remove the silver foil, fold it four times, run a fingernail over the folds and put it on the coffee table. With Nesbø’s characteristic gift for outstanding atmosphere and gut-wrenching revelations, The Jealousy Man confirms that he is at the peak of his abilities.

naglasak koji stavlja na likove koji su više možda zlikovci nego heroji i splet okolnosti koji ih je natjerao da to budu. Thank you to Knopf DoubleDay Publishing and to the author for this advanced copy of The Jealousy Man and Other Stories in exchange for an honest review.
