What book are you reading at the moment

A bit of light reading from when in hospital recently.



"When dark, sinister clouds loom, Victoria and Joe find themselves facing life-changing decisions. Happily, silver linings also abound in this, the fifth Old Fools chronicle.A fresh new face joins the cast of familiar characters but the return of a bad penny may be more than some can handle. What does the future hold for the Spanish village of El Hoyo and the two old fools?"

Started this ages ago on my Kindle but didn't get on very well but recently decided to try again and it's getting better.
Shades of Philomena with big family secrets.

I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my preorder of Mantel's The Mirror and the Light - finally begin deliveries next month after 7 years of delays. But will it be worth the wait?

Re-reading an old favourite on my Kindle.

Gentleman-detective Lord Peter Wimsey is stranded in a small English village due to car trouble on New Year's Eve at the start of Dorothy L. Sayers' The Nine Tailors. This being a holiday, and one of the change-ringers being absent, he finds himself sitting in on a record-breaking, nine-hour ringing of the changes for the parish. He made an impression, so much so that a few months later, he gets dragged back to the village to help solve the mystery of a body that has turned up in the cemetery, which may or may not be connected somehow with a robbery of a pricey emerald necklace some 15 years before.

The beauty of this book is that my home village, Christchurch, deep in the Fens of Northern Cambridgeshire is the setting for The Nine Tailors. Sayers father was the Rector there during my father's boyhood - Henry & his wife Mary are buried in the churchyard there.

Dead Beat by VAl McDermid

[yellerbelly]

Not sure if I have read this one, I read a lot of Dorothy Sayers books in my teens, used to call in at the Library regularly on my way home from work to pick them up, other favourites at the time were Margery Allingham, Nagio Marsh, Agatha Christie and Dennis Wheatley.

Presently reading The Black Ship a Daisy Dalrymple Mystery by Carol Dunn that is upstairs by my bed and Black & Blue by Ian Rankin it is based around a real life serial killer 'Bible John' from the 1960 for downstairs.

A kindle is not for me, I like to turn a page and lots of books on my bookcase to work through.

I am using a Kobo because all libraries are closed and the only way I can borrow books is electronically.
