Book cover Halfheads by Stuart B Macbride
Reading 2025 #21 One of my favourite sub-genres is crime fiction set in a slightly off kilter version of our reality. Loved this serial killer police novel by @stuartmacbride.bsky.social set in a world where criminals are lobotomised, and people get infected with VR viruses...

2025 Reading #8: Couldn't go to Scandinavia and not read a @jonesboauthor book! This was an excellent tale of a serial killer at large in Oslo.
There were plot points involving the roof of the opera house in Oslo, and the new Munch museum, and managed a brief visit to both!
