Dead Simple by Angela Marsons, Jane Casey, C.L. Taylor, Clare Mackintosh, Mark Billingham, Harry Bingham, Antonia Hodgson, James Oswald

5.0

The first of two Quick Reads that I picked up at my local library, this appealed to me because, although I was familiar with the featured authors, with the exception of CL Taylor I had not read anything by them. This book is a collection of short stories from some of the best writers of the genre. Although too short to really reel you in as a reader, I found the shorts gave me a taste of the author’s style and has given me a few new names to look for at the library! I especially enjoyed the tales from Mark Billingham, James Oswald, Jane Casey and Harry Bingham, and incidentally I thought the short from Taylor was better than the novel I recently read by her. Well worth picking up if you want to try some new authors.
