Finished A Cotsold Killing by Rebecca Trope, enjoyed it apart from the annoying main character. Have ordered the next three from Amazon.
While l am waiting have started A Half Forgotten Story by Katherine Webb. Loved her two previous books The Unseen and The Legacy. |

Just finished Metro 2033 by Dmitry Glukhovsky, excellent read. Will be getting the English translation of Metro 2034.
Bit of a change of pace with my next book - Dickie Bird's Britian. |

I must be going through a second childhood because I am reading First Term at Malory Towers by Enid Blyton, a book I must have read a dozen times as a child but haven't read for over 30 years!

Just been given 18 of the Lee Childs books about Jack Reacher. Never really fancied them from all I had heard, and the reports of the (allegedly) dreadful film with Tom Cruise.
But I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised. I only started the first one yesterday evening (Killing Floor) and am rapidly approaching the end of it, despite other things interfering, like life, shopping, eating etc! I now get the jokes that greeted the film release. Jack Reacher is six feet five inches tall and quite a muscular chap in the books. Tom Cruise is about four feet six and skinny, so it was a strange casting choice (Yes I KNOW TC films 'do the business' thanks!) But looking forward to the remaining books, if they keep to the same standards as the first one! |

![]() I'm in the middle of 'A Velvet Scream' by Priscilla Masters. I've only discovered her recently (always on the lookout for decent crime writers) and I quite like her style - lots of focus on the main characters and a bit of psychological stuff, so I'm enjoying working my way through her books. |

My new audiobook is Mystery Man by Colin Bateman, read by Stephen Armstrong. I bought this in an Audible sale just from listening to the sample, having never heard of Colin Bateman. Quote:
He’s the Man With No Name and the owner of No Alibis, a mystery bookshop in Belfast. But when a detective agency next door goes bust, the agency’s clients start calling into his shop asking him to solve their cases.
Very funny so far.I've also got an e-library book on the go. It's Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson. An elderly widower strikes up a friendship with the owner of the village shop. I'm getting through this one very quickly. I like borrowing ebooks from the library and am thinking about getting a cheap epub reader to go with my Kindle keyboard. I'm having to use my Kindle Fire atm and it's not as nice for reading as e-ink |

I loved the Malory Towers books! Are you enjoying it as an adult? I have no idea if I'd still like them now.
![]() I have now started The Shadow Year by Hannah Richell which seems promising so far. |
