Jack Glass (Adam Roberts)

This quirky set of three linked stories focuses on a murderer called Jack Glass. We are told up front that there are several murders committed in these stories and Jack Glass is responsible for most of them, but exactly who he really is and how the murders are committed only gradually becomes clear. The stories take place in various exotic futuristic environments, one of them planet Earth, with different point-of-view characters, and the stories have different tones and voices, but in the end they all hold together. I was somewhat disappointed in the resolution to the last mystery (I don't know how it could have been anticipated by even the cleverest reader), but overall I found the stories interesting and the puzzles entertaining.
