Summary


IF YOU are jetting off on holidays soon and want to get the annual dose of 'trash' in then read our ultimate guide to light vacation reading. When laying under the Spanish sun, it's not the best time to brush up on your Joyce - give your brain a few less taxing challenges. One of the biggest names in fiction is Patricia Cornwell and her latest novel Scarpetta features forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta as the heroine. But it isn't Cornwell at her best and there's no point reading bad trash when you can read good trash. Far better to try Carol O'Connell's genuinely scary Bone By Bone. It's the story of two teenage brothers who go out into the woods one day - but only one comes back.

Twenty years later, a jawbone turns up on the front porch. The missing brother is coming back, bone by bone. From the sublime to the ridiculous: Pride And Prejudice And Zombies. Seth Grahame- Smith's 'mash-up' - rewrite, to you and me - of Jane Austen is the perfect beach read: elegant manners, witty repartee and merciless slaughter of the undead. This odd little book has been a surprise bestseller, and publisher Quirk Books plans a follow-up, Sense And Sensibility And Sea Monsters. But perhaps you want a good, old- fashioned bonkbuster. You could do far worse than Priceless by Olivia Darling.
