Gifts for crime fiction readers

The danger is buying a book they've read. Safe ground: box sets of a series they've mentioned once, the new hardback from their favourite author, or the adjacent luxury — reading light, bookish comforts.

The classic mistake: A random paperback thriller from the supermarket chart. They read faster than you shop.

Add their interests once and the book blends them with their age, the family’s budget and their country, and reminds everyone three weeks out.

Real products from shops we read nightly, linked straight through; where the shelf can't help yet, a retailer search so you can still compare.
