Mini review: a collection of short stories edited by the venerable Maxim Jakubowski. Instead of a theme, he gave the authors carte blanche so you get a wide variety of settings, time periods & styles. All they have in common is someone will die. And as with all anthologies, everyone will have their favourites.

Stand outs for me: "Smile", a sort of Reacher story cleverly told from others' POV (Lee Child). #METOO, a darkly funny tale that should make anyone with a personal assistant verrry nervous (Lauren Henderson). "The Washing", a simple yet effective story set in Franco's Spain (Christopher Fowler). "Black Dog", a spooky drama set in rural England during WWII (Cathi Unsworth).

It's a great way to try on a new author & I'll be checking out books from a couple I haven't read before. ( )
