I’m full off cold and sitting miserably on my sofa with a big box of tissues and an Ann Cleeves novel.
I thought the TV series of Vera, was ok, but the books are definitely a really good read, the Shetland series are also a good investment.

What I’m reading today, only a few pages in and I’m already hooked, this is the story of a man trying to give up being an assassin to concentrate on his family. In doing so he takes on more challenging assignments and puts his family at risk. 📚💙

This week I’m reading The Traitor, nothing to do with the awful TV program, it’s about a Norwegian detective, Wisting, I’ve read several of John Lier Hirst, Wisting books, another Scandi writer that never fails to keep you turning the pages. 💙📚

About half way through this in the Jackson Brodie series by Kate Atkinson, A Murder Mystery weekend, missing artwork, complex characters in the mix, all getting Jackson’s attention while contemplating his own midlife malaise.📚💙📚
I’ve loved several of The Brodie books, this could be the best yet.

My back gave up on me at the weekend, digging at the allotment, Oh to be young and fit again, even lifting a carton of milk is painful, so I’m flat on my back listening to Gabrielle Glaister narrating this gem.

This is the book of the TV series ‘Virdee’ about a detective in Bradford, I’ve enjoyed it as I love reading about places I’m familiar with, as expected the TV series and book do differ but that’s to be expected but don’t be put off it’s a great read and I’m hoping there’s a sequel to both.

Just finishing’Forget Me Not’ by M J Arlidge, it’s one of the DI Helen Grace crime novels which I can definitely recommend, the books are a great read and will keep you turning the pages as she leads her team to solve crime in Southampton.

The ‘Charlie Parker’ series by John Connolly are definitely worth a read, in this a mother is suspected of murdering her son, Charlie working for the Lawyer investigates with the help of his eclectic associates & a frumpy middle aged medium with extraordinary powers they search for the truth. 📖📚💙

Most readers will be familiar with Mark as the author of the ‘Detective Tom Thorn’ books but If you’ve not read Marks latest detective ‘DCI Declan Miller’ books I’d definitely recommend them, well thought out plots delivered with humour and twist that will keep you turning the pages.
