The editing is awful, I couldn't read it for the omission of the apostrophe, not just here and there but throughout the entire book. Sorry, the stories might be good but something has gone wrong in the publication process to miss off every single apostrophe.

Stories are good but the shocking omission of the apostrophe is horrifying. Really annoying! American English, I can live with but this is a step too far. Lee Child ought to be ashamed himself.

Very dissapoonted. I was expecting a novel like Jack Reacher. I only found a collection of short stories, none if them so far by Lee Childs who I like as an author. Totally not what I expected and sorry I paid money to purchase it.
