The Round House by Louise Erdrich
Been on a bit of a Michael Connelly kick recently (Harry Bosch/Mickey Haller/Renee Ballard). Not exactly highbrow fiction, but perfect light summer reading.
Now back with one of my favourite authors. Iain M. Banks' "Matter".
Recently read all nine of the The Rivers of London books by Ben Aaronovitch was a suggestion by my brother and I had geuinely not heard anything about them so was surprised to find out they were a best seller when I finished .
They're a hit in my family too. I have Tales From The Folly waiting on the To Read pile.
I love how well he captures the feel of different parts of London. I grew up a 10 min walk from Beverly Brook
My brother has just told me that there is a TV series in the pipeline with the guidance of the Ben as producer which may well mean that it will be pretty decent . As there is good back catalogue for this plenty of scope for making it a very good series .
Discovered a new (to me) character, the kicked-out-of-the-cops so works as a private detective, Bernhard Gunther in pre-WW2 Berlin, created by the late Philip Kerr. I’m late to these but enjoying them immensely.
Does this make me a bad person?
Did he write them in English or German ?
