Late, as expected, but November in the reading stacks was made up of

Currently Reading

I just had to start The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes as soon as it lobbed. 10+ years waiting for it, and it is worth dropping everything. 

The other book I've been dipping into is Sao Paulo Noir - a collection of short stories that has been lurking around here for years. 

Finished

Everyone On This Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson - follow up to Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone - review to come, but cleverly done. Not as impactful as the first one, but still darn entertaining. 

Suburban True Crime by Emily Webb - reviewed as well, series of short chapters going back over many years and way too many murders. Interesting set of cases discussed.

Offline by Anne Holt - sadly neglected (by me) entrant in the Hanne Wilhelmsen series. 

The Berlin Traitor by A.W. Hammond - review to come at Newtown Review of Books.

The Wiregrass by Adrian Hyland - review to come at Newtown Review of Books.

The Day That Never Comes, the second in "The Dublin Trilogy" by Caimh McDonnell - listened to this and it's proving to be a rather enjoyable listening series.

And Away ... by Bob Mortimer, his first autobiography, written and read by Mortimer - thoroughly enjoyed this. Insightful and very honest, he's lead a life that man.

Death Comes to Marlow, the second in the Marlow Murder club series by Robert Thorogood - another one which is turning out to be an excellent listen whilst driving.

Exit .45 by Ben Sanders

The Drowning by Bryan Brown

Next Up

Again - no idea, but there are a lot of books that The Year of the Locust stomped over on the way to the top of the pile that need attention.
