slayra reviewed The Stranger Times by C McDonnell
Review of 'The Stranger Times' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Hannah is trying to restart her life after leaving a cheating husband. This means she has to find a job, even if it means working for the "The Stranger Times". The tabloid specialises in "strange" stories, but the team is about to learn that some of the stories aren't as crazy as they sound.
I bought this book because it was on sale and the reviews compared it to Terry Pratchett's writing. I don't necessarily agree with the comparison, but I loved this book and highlighted too many passages. It is filled with good dark humour, and all characters are special in their own way. Editor Banecroft is probably my favourite and I need to learn more about him. I'll read the next book for sure!
And as a final thought: we need to make obituaries instead of plain acknowledgements a thing.
