Is crime so low in London that the Met are forced to share arrests?

Next book, I hope this lives up to the hype. #booksky

A real corker. With a slower build up, this story does not let you down. A fantastic climax with a real emotional ending. Great stuff.

In quick succession, another Helen Grace story. 'Love me not' was a little ridiculous and still a great read. Looking forward to this, though I wonder if I will have to suspend reality again. #booksky

Next book is #7 in the DI Helen Grace series. The last book, 'Hide and Seek' was a little bit ridiculous so I am hoping this one does better, whilst still being entertaining. #booksky

Back to crime fiction, I will try to ignore that this is set in my hometown of Southampton and it is evident that the author knows very little about the place. At least the previous books have been well written. #booksky

Ian Dale only needs to look in the mirror to understand what a knobhead is.

A bit of 'business management', hope it's not too dry. Here goes.

@heathercritchlow.bsky.social - this was great - Brilliant! A real rollercoaster of emotions, the writer has expertly developed Cal's character; loveable and yet flawed. A cracking romp that ends on a cliff-hanger. I am going to have to get the next book now.

โ€œWe are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine.

Boy, that non-fiction was tough going. Back to some science fiction. I really liked the film and I am pretty sure I read this when I awas a teenager. #booksky #sciencefiction

As a country we cannot afford to support our most vunerable. We can however, line the pockets of billionaire's in the US war machine.

@heathercritchlow.bsky.social A real rollercoaster of a thrill ride. We hear it so often that we almost accept that the husnband did it, well I was fooled. An excellent twist at the end. Brilliant. #booksky If you love fast paced crime, this is well worth your time. "Unsound" is in my TBR

Just finished this, and I have to say, it's a corker. A slow and steady start that builds the tension masterfully. A couple of decent plot twists, one was really obvious, still that's what we like sometimes. This was a great read. #booksky

After the brilliance that was 'Slaughterhouse 5' I am trying something a little different. Here goes #booksky
