    I’ve just finished Raven Black by Ann Cleeves - the first in the Jimmy Perez Shetland series. Bit late to the party and I’ve not seen the TV series. Enjoyed it and will be looking for others in the series.

    Now reading A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie. Only my second AC read - enjoying it so far.

    Why have I never realised before that there is a ‘book’ thread!

    As a child I was an avid reader, sort of lost my way and trying desperately to claw it back in the short amount of time I seem to have free each day.
    This year’s favourite book so far, and a complete change of genre for me, was Echoes on a Fractal Line (Lee-Anne McCaulay).

    I’m currently reading Raising Hare (Chloe Dalton) and The Knapdale Murders #1 (Daniel Sellers) the latter being my more usual Scottish crime genre and set in an area I know well.

    Looking forward to adding more to me TBR list
