Excited to be heading to Venice later this week for #VeniceNoir. Looking forward to talking about causes of death in crime novels and to meeting some of my favourite authors. @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social @davidhewson.com @annamazz.bsky.social @ianrankin1.bsky.social @tombenjamin.bsky.social

Just finished Ian Rankin's Rebus-redeeming (again) Standing In Another Man's Grave. Might be my favourite Rebus and not just because of the Jackie Leven title. It drips, drips, drips... **** @ianrankin1.bsky.social
