Why read it?

1 author picked Die Softly as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In terms of pulse-pounding mysteries, they don’t get much better than this.

It is a quick read, perfect for a long-ish flight, and never gets old.

From Carl's list on to bring on an airplane/vacation.
