3. Brothers In Law by Henry Cecil

May 2020

A humourous novel about a newly-qualified lawyer.

Otherwise this week I read
"The nature of the beast" by Frances Fyfield
"Knots & Crosses" by Ian Rankin - I wasn't overly impressed
"The man in the net" by Patrick Quentin - good but the protagonist is very dodgy, and
The Sleeping Doll by Jeffrey Deaver - too many plot twists IMO.
"Gently by the Shore" by Alan Hunter - not ENOUGH plot twists IMO

Other than reading not much happens here. In our area we are down to less than 10 new cases a day (population over 500,000), & deaths are down too. The lockdown rules are being greatly relaxed tomorrow, so fingers crossed there's no second wave.

Very distressed by what is happening over there. Please stay safe DU readers.
