JP's Reviews > Amsterdam Noir

I've read lots of short story collections, very little of anything set in Amsterdam, and apparently no noir until now. I typically enjoy experiencing different writing styles in quick succession. This book delivers on that expectation and was enjoyable to read over a few sessions during a winter break. I learned just how dark noir can be. Most of the stories provided an enjoyable level of insight into the hard side of human nature. A few of the stories went further than I would care to read again. I'll take suspense over horror. This book delivers both in an experience that will make you think about at least some of the characters and scenes the next day.
