What Fiction are you reading this week, May 28, 2023? [View all]

The Portico Library, Manchester


Reading Watching From the Dark by Gytha Lodge. "When a vibrant young woman is murdered while on a video chat, a small-town detective wades into a circle of friends and lovers with dangerous secrets."
I've been reading this all week and still don't have any guess as to who the murderer is. Everybody is suspect. Good stuff.

Listening to Shrines of Gaiety, Kate Atkinson's latest; a spellbinding tale of seduction and betrayal. "It's 1926, and in a country still recovering from the Great War, London has become the focus for a delirious new nightlife, clubbing. Peers of the realm rub shoulders with starlets, foreign dignitaries with gangsters, and girls sell dances for a shilling a time." Just started it but I think it's going to be terrific.

What terrific books will you be enjoying over this long weekend?
