A very Norfolk scene with the old gatehouse to some hall or other, blue sky with white clouds, a barred gate, a finger signpost to Wymondham and a hawthorn hedge coming into blossom
My hand holding a copy of Sharks by Simone Buchholz above the box in which they were delivered. You can see the back covers of two more, one right way up and one upside down. The cover is dark blue with neon green for the title and a neon sign of a shark jaw in pink and a bunch of green keys above the Hamburg skyline. Text: For the first time in a long time, I found a book I simply couldn't put down-and I didn't want it to end... A truly fantastic read Leye Adenle SIMONE BUCHHOLZ WINNER OF THE CWA CRIME IN TRANSLATION DAGGER SHARKS A CHASTITY RILEY INVESTIGATION "Taut, compulsive and laced with humour as dark as its selling...

To The Wallace Collection yesterday for Grayson Perry: Delusions of Grandeur. Multi-layered with multiple personas, this was a visual and cerebral feast, & it was a great exercise to walk the main collection rooms afterwards to see what GP is responding to.

Over to Hackney Wick yesterday to see The Glass Menagerie at The Yard Theatre. Powerful production with excellent performances from all players. Lots of contemporary touches but Williams’ text is allowed to shine as brightly, and as devastatingly, as ever.

A paperback book lies on a bed by two black Labrador cross dogs. The book is The Cure by Eve Smith with the tagline: Living forever can be lethal
The blurb on the back of the book, The Cure by Eve Smith. Ruth is a law-abiding elder, working out her national service, but she has secrets. Her tireless research into the disease that killed her young daughter had an unexpected outcome: the discovery of a vaccine against old age. Just one jab a year reverses your biological clock, guaranteeing a long, healthy life. But Ruth’s cure was hijacked by her colleague, Erik Grundleger, who hungers for immortality, and the SuperJuve – a premium upgrade – was created, driving human lifespan to a new high. The wealthy elite who take it are dubbed Supers, and the population begins to skyrocket. Then, a perilous side-effect of the SuperJuve emerges, with catastrophic consequences, and as the planet is threatened, the population rebels, and laws are passed to restore order: life ends at 120. Supers are tracked down by Omnicide investigators like Mara, and executed… Mara has her own reasons for hunting Supers, and she forms an unlikely alliance with Ruth to find Grundleger. But Grundleger has been working on something even more radical and is one step ahead, with a deadly surprise in store for them both…

The Cure is out next week!!
