Fiction

A whodunit set in Northumberland - a young woman's body is found stuffed inside Hadrian's Wall. Although it's the second in the series, it's my first read of this author. Ticking all my boxes so far.

Two oddities earlier in the week (to avoid spoilers I won't name the books). One whodunit where the detective gets it unambiguously wrong, and another whodunit where the identity of the murderer is SO obvious that the whole novel becomes pointless.

It's #IndieBookshopWeek here in the UK so at the end of the week we are visiting two of the finest bookshops in North West England (and going to the seaside!) @PritchardsBooks and @BroadhurstBooks .

It's more than 2 weeks since my second vaccination, so I am now strutting about like Mr Bertie Big Bollocks.

Stay safe!
