Read: Kindred by Octavia E. Butler ★★★☆☆ 📚
Another Octavia E. Butler and again I felt it might be a young adult book. The slavery was a lot less horrific than say The Book of Night Women. The time travelling characters didn’t seem too put out by suddenly being pulled into the past. Still story jogged along.

Read: London Rules by Mick Herron ★★★☆☆ 📚
Enjoyable, more of the same from the series. Laughing out loud.
Read: What time is love by Holly Williams ★★★☆☆ 📚
Quite an interesting time travel remix, I did want to find out what happened to the first couple. The second incarnation less compelling.
Read: Knots and Crosses by Ian Rankin ★★★☆☆ 📚
First Rebus, a darker character than the later series (which I’ve read quite a few in random order). I got the first 3 in a kindle 99p bundle so will read the next couple too, not just yet.
Read: Heresy (Giordano Bruno, #1) by S.J. Parris ★★★☆☆ 📚
The rather weird idea of historical characters solving murder is good fun.
Read The Second Murderer: A Philip Marlowe Novel by Denise Mina ★★★☆☆ 📚
Pretty good job updating Marlow a little for our more sensitive times.
Read: Dead Lions by Mick Herron ★★★☆☆ 📚
The second in the series, grubby comic spies. I think I’ll keep reading these now and again.
Read: The Wych Elm by Tana French ★★★☆☆ 📚
Narrator with a bump on the head and confused brain. Murder from the past. The story unwinds & unfolds in a teasing way.
Read: Slow Horses by Mick Herron ★★★ 📚
Enjoyed this, even though I’d seen the TV series.
Read: Miss Garnet’s Angel by Salley Vickers ★★★☆☆ 📚
Spinster reborn in Venice, kept me going, somewhat puzzled and not quite convinced by end.
