 is worth your time and attention.
-Lesley thinks crime fans will love [[Night School by Lee Child]]. Jack Reacher’s lastest outing actually takes us back to an earlier one. It's 1996 and he’s still in the army, and on the trail of something worth a hundred million dollars. This is more of a puzzle, less of a thriller than some of the Reacher tales, but has the very same quality of writing that makes for a quick page-turner and a satisfying read.

 In non-fiction, and since you'll be reading this newsletter at a time when you're probably thinking about Christmas gifts, try [[1,342 QI Facts To Leave You Flabbergasted by John Lloyd, John Mitchinson, James Harkin and Anne Miller]]. It's one more entrant in the best series of trivia books, with unusual statements about the world distilled to their essence and presented in oddly linked fashion. And it's a stonker. Many of its one-liners could be used as startlingly good conversation openers. You need those conversation openers!
