Good, and another one setting book. I did not like the main character, but the stories were really easy to read. Great writing, interesting characters, and I kept wondering how many murders can this women get away with.

Picked this based on the title from a list of books that would meet the requirements for a reading challenge. Wasn't quite prepared for what the "no good" involved but did like the stories.

Small book (about twice the size of my phone) with 5 short stories. Clever and the translator did a good job.

Content warning: gore, violence, murder, toxic relationship

I'm probably missing some warnings, since it's been about a month since I read this. This was kind of cozy I guess, but I didn't really like the main character because she's not a good person.

She does bad things that she justifies in her mind as "because they deserved it" but most of the time it's just because she's selfish/doesn't want to face the consequences of her actions.

The book tries to make it just seem like she's old and quirky, but that doesn't justify most of what she does

which is murder, it's a lot of murder
