Well, this year’s favourite so far, Mil Millington’s ‘Things My Girfriend and I Have Argued About’, would be good for rehabilitating bossy partners and dodgy bosses, while last year’s, Ian McEwen’s ‘Atonement’, would be perfect for the over-righteous, as would (in a slightly different sense) the runner-up, Philip Pullman’s ‘His Dark Materials’. Not sure if those are actual crimes in Pennsylvania, though. </p> Great question.
