Two thrilling reads
Let’s kick off the month with two books from one of our favourite authors … Lee Child’s Better off Dead, and a collection of short stories edited by him, too.
Better Off Dead
The jury’s still out as to whether we’re as besotted with Jack Reacher since Lee Child handed the hero over to his brother, Andrew. Maybe not … but Better Off Dead is still a great read. Army veterans turned FBI agents. Missing family. Dangerous people. A hostile town. And the promise that if Reacher is coming after you, you might be better off dead. So still typical Reacher. Penguin.
Best Crimes Stories of the Year 2021
Collections of short stories are great for holidays. You can read one on the plane, on the beach, before bed. But on the other hand, when the short stories are from Stephen King, Sara Paretsky, Sue Grafton, you may just keep going, story after story. Best Crimes Stories of the Year 2021 are the 20 finest short stories released this year. Edited by Lee Child, these stories are of the extremes of human psychology caused by despair, hate, greed, fear, envy, insanity and love. Head of Zeus.
