A Christmas crime story from 1937. It's OK, but the world generally is making me grumpy so I'm not really enjoying anything right now.

Omicron is sweeping the country. My current plan is to stay away from the health service until all the anti-mask anti-vaxx dickheads are dead. Hopefully it won't be long.

On the bright side I got 14 books for Christmas.

Happy New Year!
