Simon Lack, The Hedge Fund Mirage (2012).
An ex-hedge fund manager’s account of how greedy rich people are conned into investing in dodgy HFs.
Sky Dragons-- Anne & Todd McCaffrey
Stephen King’s “The Institute”. It’s very disturbing, I’m nearly at the end, I hope it doesn’t get silly like some of his stories do.
It would make an excellent film though, something different and quite believable as I’ve seen tv documentaries on similar subjects.
I am approaching the end of Book 2 of Robin Hobb’s Soldier Son trilogy, Forest Mage. I have read a lot of her books over the years and this is very different to what she has written before. Slow and quite hard going at times, is as much philosophical allegory as it is fantasy.
But I will read Book 3, especially as it is is a bit shorter than Book 2’s 818 pages!
“Perfect Kill” by Helen Fields, I should have asked for historical crime fiction for the library’s click and collect!
It’s horrible! All about human trafficking for sex trades and organ harvesting!
The trouble is I can’t stop reading it as I want the kidnapped people to escape!
Why are female crime writers so brutal and using bad language these days!?
The Madness if Crowds by Douglas Murray
Starting Over by Tony Parsons
A 42 year old bloke has a heart transplant, gets a heart of a 19 year old. He’s got 2 kids of around that age and begins to like them and starts behaving like them. The wife is not amused.
Peter Robinson - Many Rivers To Cross. The latest Det Sup Alan Banks mystery to come out in paperback.
“No Mercy” by Martina Cole.
The first and last of her books I’ll ever read! F word on practically every page, not to mention other expletives.
Must amend my list on the library’s “Click and collect” service to “Historical crime” methinks.
I read two pages of Martina Cole once …
Must look out for that one 
We’ve loved all his others.
Just finished an old Simon Kernick, “Payback”. Good but too many killings… 
Now reading a Tim Weaver, “You Were Gone”. I like his books
Marie Brennan, a Memoir by Lady Trent, The Voyage Of The Basilisk. Third in the series.
Glanny, V’s ½ way through the latest Ellie Griffiths paperback in the Dr Ruth Galloway series - The Lantern Men. Look out for that one too
Me too - never again.
I’m about to start reading one of these two books…The Volunteer…about a resistance hero who infiltrated Auschwitz, by Jack Fairweather or the boy who followed his father into Auschwitz by Jeremy Dronfield. a true story.
I haven’t been reading for a while, but I like these kind of stories, so when my O H .s finished reading them I will…
Alan Titchmarsh The Scarlet Nightingale.
I have just bought “The Survivors” Jane Harper’s new book.
Probably will ty to resist starting it until the long weekend when I am away camping with my kids.

Andrew Marr, “Elizabethans”.
Wow!
The story of the UK since our current Elizabeth came to power.
Read one chapter, so far, and learned more of our history & attitudes, than I ever got in school,
Amazing!:-p
“The Tudor Crown” by Joan Hickson.
Not something I would choose, click and collect from library.
It’s interesting though, how devious and brutal the Monarchy were to get and keep what they believed they were entitled to.
Thieves and bullies the lot of them!
The Return by Rachel Harrisonhttps://www.amazon.com/Return-Rachel-Harrison/dp/0593098668
A deep, thriller, I read half of it late at night before bed time. It made me uneasy enough that I finished it during daylight hours… good read.
