Re: What Are You Reading? July 2020
I’ve just started Murder at the Races by Carmen Radtke , a murder mystery set in the 1930s. I’m also reading via Pigeonhole Execution by S J Parris . It’s the sixth in the Giordano Bruno historical thrillers set in the Elizabethan era. I haven’t read the previous books although I have some on my TBR...

Re: What are you reading? June 2020
I’ve just started Biloxi by Mary Miller, a contemporary story about a man who takes in a dog after his wife leaves him. I enjoy books about animals.
I’m also reading via Pigeonhole The Perfect Life by Valerie Keogh, a psychological thriller. It started off slow but it’s now picked up pace.

I’m now reading The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker, a bit of Greek mythology, about Achilles and Briseis. It’s my f2f book group read. I’m enjoying it so far.
