"The Best of Richard Matheson" was an excellent collection of his short stories. Richard Matheson wrote a few of my favorite "Twilight Zone" episodes, and while some of the stories in this collection were a little too science fiction for my taste, most were pretty good. Quite a few had great surprise twists at the end that I didn't see coming. "Button, Button", "Where There's a Will", and "A Visit to Santa Claus" stand out as particular favorites. Great collection, I really enjoyed it.
I hope this is a start to a new series by Reichs, I really enjoyed the main character, Sunday Night. She's ex-military and ex-cop who was injured on the job and forced to take an early retirement. She's got a past full of demons: Reichs didn't delve too deeply into it, but it seems as if Sunday and her twin brother, August (Gus), escaped from a cult back in the 90s. Due to her unique upbringing, her mentor Beau thinks she's perfect to help on a case that's eluded Chicago PD for over a year now. A mother and her young son were killed in a terrorist attack, and the daughter is missing. Her grandmother, a wealthy Southern dame, is offering big bucks if Sunday can find her.
