This was a good collection of short stories that were a great break from the Jack Reacher series . This collection of stories does not at all relate to the Reacher series with this different set of characters. I will admit that at times it felt that the characters could have connected to other stories and at times but in the end this was an enjoyable read that I would recommend to others.

A selection of short stories from Lee Child - the author of the Jack Reacher books. I loved the early Jack Reacher novels.

These were all quite dark stories, full of murder and assasins, drug dealers and cops. They seemed well written, and I liked some of the dark humor in a few of them. Like all short story collections, some were better than others, some felt too long and others too short.

On the whole I didn't enjoy them quite as much as I expected, and I am finding it hard to put my finger on why! I read short story collections from other authors reasonably often, so it wasn't the format that I struggled with. Maybe I was secretly hoping for something closer to a Reacher story.

I listened to this book, and I felt the narrator did do it justice. They were easy to listen to, and each story felt distinct.
