Wee reminder for the Americans among you that this deal is still going. Less than a buck! For *several hours* of spy shenanigans.

All I ever wanted aged 12 was one of the cool headsets they used in BUGS.

Why not grab a copy of this multi-award-winning spy thriller to read before the sequel comes out next June?

If you're not a Kindle user, other platforms often price match.

Americans! Absolutely delighted to confirm that once again you're getting an absolute steal on A Reluctant Spy from @headlinebooks.bsky.social, which is a Kindle Monthly Deal for October - less than a dollar for the whole month!

Ain't that the truth.

The official community support answer is, I kid you not, 'after going to the next comment, scroll up a bit'. Yeah, sure, I'll do that 2,000-3,000 times over the course of a typical copyedit, very helpful, thanks.

Who the hell decided that when you select 'Next change or comment' in Word it should be placed at the very bottom of the screen, often slightly off the screen, instead of in the centre?

In what world does that make any sense at all?

God I hate working in Word.

Congratulations to Richard!
