#TheFifteenthMan by @williamcooknews is a great read in the mighty mould of Ludlum and Le Carre - or to put it another way - Slick, dark and dangerous as a freshly oiled Luger 😉 #crimefiction #crime #summerreads

Tense crime with a chilling undercurrent of horror, The Hollow Boys gives me creepy Stephen King vibes.

Having had the pleasure of reading @CarolineHulse1's #MurderMeOnceShameOnYou... I can confidently say that Vivian Slade is my character of the year, utterly unbearable and totally irresistible - leaves me with the strange feeling I might have dated an early prototype in the 80's

When Eddie how told Alexander Isak he could be a great STRIKER was there perhaps something lost in translation? #nufc #PremierLeague #traitor

Just Finished @JaniceHallett 's #TheKillerQuestion - What a joy! An intricate mystery finally solved through the most unexpected medium. Hallett truly never ceases to amaze, challenge and entertain. Funny too

Six nights a week the cast of Daughter of the Revolution perform to a sold-out audience, until the lead actress is beheaded live on stage. Every cast member has a motive, but who is guilty?

#ATrialInThreeActs by Guy Morpuss is out now ⚖️

View from the balcony- better than the one on the other side of the camera - which is me in shorts - but I love living here 😎

@Anna_Mazz Well, never mind about jokes. I got a new dog today. A rescue. Used to belong to a blacksmith. Got it home and the first thing it did was- make a bolt for the door 😉
