Since I was awake last night listening to the wind blow anyway, I decided on an audiobook as a distraction, and got through The Crooked Wreath by Christianna Brand, read by David Thorn. Excellent narration, the book was pretty typical Golden Age/locked room fare with better than average characterizations and interactions, but the prolonged and overwrought denouement dimmed the glitter somewhat.
I'm listening to a collection of George Orwell essays that's only an audiobook, titled Such, Such Were the Joys, read by Frederick Davidson, who does his usual excellent job. The essays are entertaining and provocative; unfortunately I see from Audible that there's a skipping problem later in the book. That just happened to me with another; I wish qc were better when audiobooks are remastered to digital.
