Review of 'Beat Goes On' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I was surprised. Usually not a fan of short stories, I prefer to plunge in a book and soak in its atmosphere for a while, leaving it for a few hours and looking so much forward to returning to it.

In this book each single story is a whole book in miniature, Rankin is especially good at establishing the mood with just a few sentences, the characters sketched in few but efficient words.

Probably going to explore more short stories to see how other writers manage.

2 separate books that have no other connection other than the Chicago 1893 exhibition. The first one follows the architects charged with the realization of the exhibition, the other book turns around a serial killer who profited from the affluence and confusion generated by the same exhibition.
