Added to the Piles

The Mystery of the Crooked Man, Tom Spencer #audio

Another fortnight's worth of activity, where the highlights were getting to read The Chancellor, Liars and Woman Missing, getting hold of Best Served Cold, Prize Catch and When it Rains and Opal as well as the new to me Boney Creek and The Grapevine. Got a lot of very good reading to come up in other words.

Death of a Countess, Jenny Harrison #yeahnoir

Highlights are the intentionally very slow savouring of Gunnawah (advance order it / you'll not be sorry), and reviewing Kill Yours, Kill Mine and Southern Aurora.

Shadow City, Natalie Conyer #auscrime

Leave The Girls Behind, Jacqueline Bublitz #yeahnoir

Took a week off work so this is the last fortnight's worth of activity. Highlights were reviewing The Call & The Crag, whilst Gunnawah arriving was beyond exciting (fellow ex-twitterers - the author is the inimitable Ronni Salt).
