I picked up Last Night at the Telegraph Club, but haven't read it yet. However, it sounds right up my alley. Now do I risk the $2 on a sequel Edit: I bought it. It's $2. |

King Rat by James Clavell is $2 at Amazon, B&N and Kobo US.
Be careful. Amazon doesn't show I own it, but when I look at my purchases, I bought it in 2020. Same cover, but they must have changed the ASIN or something. Quote:

Historical fiction, recounting the life of Hilda of Whitby. Direct sequel to Hild, and you probably want to read that first, but even the author changed her mind about it. Last edited by salty-horse; 04-21-2024 at 05:27 AM. |
