Killing Time by Lee Child

redowns1022's review against another edition

3.0

It's hard to give one straight review to a collection of so many varied stories. Really, it's between three and four stars. I enjoyed being able to sit down and finish a story in one sitting. And Mr. Child ensured that each story was strikingly different from the last so you never knew what to expect. A few were a bit too violent or creepy for my taste - many of the ones told from the point of view of the murderers. But nearly all are engaging and they do represent the full spectrum of "detective fiction" from Sherlock Holmes to courtroom dramas, to detective stories, to murderers narratives. I recommend, but with the caveat that many of the stories do deal with very dark topics.

I always enjoy this series. There were a couple of clunkers (Designer Justice and The Killing Time), but overall a pleasing anthology of crime.
