A review by leemac027
The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher by Hilary Mantel

4.0

I love the way Hilary Mantel puts words together and each of these short stories draws you in. Every story has excellent characterisation and there are a few surprises, some of which are disturbing.

It is an easy and entertaining collection. I found Winter Break incredibly magnetic in its style with an ending that made me shiver.

The final story is the Assassination of Margaret Thatcher and I particularly liked the way Mantel develops the relationship between the witness and the assassin - fascinating.
