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.
