Probably not…

No free drinks in my gaff vicar :innocent:

This book has just popped through the door from Amazon. I got it cheap as chips second hand although in immaculate condition

.

It must have been about thirty years ago when I first read it but frustratingly had forgotten the title of the volume.
To cut a long story short I was on a course last week when the subject of helicopters cropped up.The fella I was chatting to was able to refresh my memory.

Hi

A Higher Form of Killing

A Secret History of Biological and Chemical Warfare

Available on ebay

I am three quarters the way through my first Michael Connelly book The Black Echo.

It took me a little while to get used to his style and his long chapters but am enjoying it very much

Only another 19 Harry Bosch books to go…

I enjoyed these books @Bruce. They ran a series of Bosch on Netflix.
I am currently reading Steve Cavanagh, The Devil’s Advocate

Anybody else read Normal People by Sally Rooney. It sold in millions and got fantastic reviews. To be fair, I very much liked it and it is beautifully written. But for me, the problem was the two main characters. I just found them (both young adults) to be hugely irritating. Self obsessed, indecisive and pish at communicating. If that is the new normal then the human race is doomed. Apart from that a very good book!

I am just finishing “The Black Ice” by Michael Connelly

and have just bought today "Dark Desert Road" by Tim Ayliffe, it comes highly recommended

He’s an Aussie author, if he is half as good as Jane Harper it should be a good read.

Just started reading Margaret Atwood’s The Testaments

I have only read the first few chapters but I do like her style of writing.

The video series is on Disney+ but I am restraining myself from watching until I have read the book.

I am very much enjoying “The Testaments”.

Currently I am about a quarter way through the book (about page 100 of 400) and already it has become a book that I don’t want to end.

There is a major character from the The Handmaids Tale, the Aunt Lydia is featured but some of the other characters are becoming clearer in their relationship to the original book though not yet actually identified.

I couldn’t resist a peek at the first episode of the series on Disney+ but I did restrain myself after a few minutes - I saw enough to see that it has been well made. I think the series has 10 episodes and they are being released on a weekly basis, with seven to this date, so that once I have finished the book all the episodes will be available (or nearly so).

If you have read and enjoyed The Handmaids Tale then I don’t think The Testaments will disappoint.

I’ll be settling down with a little non fiction this evening!
