What an absolutely wonderful novel featuring two of my favorite investigators. Another fantastic Fleet-Entwhistle mystery! Highly recommend picking up a copy. I couldnt put this book down! Wry, hilarious, and engrossing. Also delightful to hear all the characters' voices in my head while reading.

Finished it, loved it!
Deeply researched and chillingly realistic, #TheCure cements Eve Smith’s place as the queen of the speculative tech thriller. We should all be reading her cautionary tales of the near future. Highly, highly recommend.

Listening to A Thousand Feasts by @nigelslater.bsky.social - the first time I’ve read him, & I’m blown away. I’ve never heard such beautiful, sensual writing about food and place in my life. How did it take me this long? Gutted I’ve only just realised I could have been saving clips along the way.
