The Jealousy Man and Other Stories
The Jealousy Man and Other Stories | Jo Nesbo
5 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
A dark, thrilling short-story collection about twisted minds and vengeful hearts, from a true master of suspense. Jo Nesb is the consummate mystery writer, and his talent for hair-raising suspense and shocking twists is on full display in this inventive and harrowing collection of stories. A detective with a nose for jealousy is on the trail of a man suspected of murdering his twin; a bereaved father must decide whether vengeance has a place in the new world order after a pandemic brings about the collapse of society; a woman finally overcomes her intimacy issues through a dark encounter with her Peeping Tom neighbor; a hired assassin pits his wits against his greatest adversary, another assassin, in a dangerous game for survival; and an instantly electric connection between passengers on a flight to London may spell romance, or may spell something more sinister. Contained in this collection are stories of insatiable avarice, unscrupulous lovers, and heartrending fate. With Nesb's gift for outstanding atmosphere and satisfyingly unexpected twists, this is a veritable crime lover's delight.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Best short story collection I‘ve read in a long time! The book is over 500 pages long and I found every single story riveting! Nesbo is one of the best mystery/suspense writers around. If you‘ve never read him, I highly recommend you try.

I have historically struggled with short stories. I often feel that they are missing something or end in a way that leaves a lot to be desired.

That was NOT the case with this collection. I loved every one of these stories. Gritty, dark at times, and thrilling. Highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thought this was great. It's super dark which is what you would expect from this author. It's short stories and my advice would be to read them one at a time, rather than reading this straight through.
