This week I received 2 rather exciting emails. One was from the wonderful Lucy at The Literary Edit, which contained her favourite 5 books read in 2024, and the other was from the folks at Goodreads on my reading challenge.

I sat on my sun lounger hooting at this quote which typified this book as classic 1930s crime writing and great fun. After all, in a matter of life and death there is always time to have a light lunch.
