    Good evening, 
    Today, I finished: The Serial Killer's Wife by Alice Hunter. I just couldn't put it down. It was easy to get into. With only a few characters - easy to follow. There was an interesting couple of twists at the end. I haven't watched the tv series on it. 
    I will look out for her books at the library. 
    Next up...Dan Brown's latest book, it came through the post yesterday. I got it for half price and then used a Waterstones' reward voucher. 😀

    Well, I am going to recommend some non-fiction. I have been very busy helping organise something, and the 'what to do better next time' meeting included some strongly expressed opinions, shall we say. There was a post-meeting apology - but for the opinions rather than the actions which led to the whole 'discussion' - and I'd rather like to know that what happened Will Not Happen Again, so that we never have to have words about it again ... 

    DH pointed me to this book, which he'd just finished reading, and honestly, it is excellent. I mean, obviously I think I'm right in this situation and the other person is In Error, but rather than blasting in on that basis I hope to be able to explore why this person thought it was OK to do what they did, and share with them my hope that they will never do anything like it again ... 

    I have a funny feeling it won't be as easy as that, but the book is excellent!
