Opowiadanie wyraźnie inspirowane Zbrodnią i Karą, ale napisane w zupełnie innym stylu literackim. Praktycznie nie było opisanych tu przeżyć wewnętrznych i obłędu sprawcy, bardziej sama sprawa kryminalna.
Czytało się całkiem przyjemnie, ale też nie zrobiło na mnie jakiegoś specjalnego wrażenia:)

good introduction to his works as a enjoyed of crime and punishment

[Sofia Dinsmore · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am biased towards this book because it was the one that introduced me to this author. I am a big fan of Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, therefore I was recomended this short story, and upon seeing it literally referenced the novel and seeing how heavily it was based off Dostoevsky's story, I was captivated by this short story. To put it simply, this is the answer to "what if crime and punishment were a crime/mystery novel rather than the psychology/philosophy genre the original work fits into. It was entertaining, I liked it.

[Felix · Rating 5 out of 5]

Truly amazed. How he discovered he was the murderer was amazing. Incredible.
It's my second story from him (Japanese Tales of Mistery Imagination) but he's becoming my favourite author of this year.

Fascinating how it unravels

[Maura · Rating 3 out of 5]

the lesson is to put your considerable intelligence towards a normal scholarly career and not murder. Or if you are going to murder don't be too smart about it.
