Kobo is Canada’s answer to the Kindle. It’s a device that millions of people prefer to use for their e-reading pleasure. The company has recently come through with a list of the 10 bestselling crime novels of the last five years via the Kobo Store. The British author Simon Brett presents the top 10 in the video, which you can watch above. It could help you plan your summer holiday reading.

If you don’t feel like watching, here’s that list in reverse order. It’s got a few stalwarts that you’d expect to see there, such as Stieg Larsson’s Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series, as well as a few surprises too, including the number one novel! But watch the video, Simon Brett and co-host Emma Kenny are more fun.
