I finished The Grim Company by Luke Scull. In many ways it was the opposite to my experience of reading Malice by John Gwynne which I read a couple of books ago. This one had some good ideas and interesting characters, but for some reason didn't quite gel with me. Maybe it was trying too hard to be grimdark. Maybe it was just the writing style. It wasn't terrible, and I might well read the sequel (sadly not currently available in the Kindle Lending Library like this one), but it didn't completely grab me.
Back to crime now, with Last Tango in Aberystwyth by Malcolm Pryce, second of the Louie Knight books.
