WE do like a good thriller or murder mystery in Worcestershire. It appears that local book readers like nothing more than to settle down with a novel with a twisty plot if the list of most popular library books in 2020 is anything to go by. Worcestershire County Council has issued its annual top library book list, and, as usual, it makes fascinating reading. The number one choice across the county was Lee Child’s
Past Tense, one in the famous Jack Reacher series. That was borrowed a total of 443 times, closely followed by by Mark Billingham’s
Their Little Secret (thriller) with 426 issues.
