A decent ghost-written autobiography.
Then I read
Forfeit by Dick Francis, his 7th novel from 1968. The expected fun horse-racing based thriller, with a reminder of the horrors of polio.
Next was
A Dying Fall by Elly Griffiths, the 5th in her Dr Ruth Galloway series, and also a short in that series,
Ruth's First Christmas Tree. Both also up to scratch.
So Much Blood by Simon Brett was next, the second in his Charles Paris series, written in 1975 and set in Edinburgh at the Fringe. A fun mystery, and also an interesting contemporary historical look at 1970s Edinburgh.
An accidental re-read of
Dishonesty is the Second-best Policy by David Mitchell followed. A collection of newspaper articles. Clearly forgettable, as I'd forgotten I'd read them before, but I liked them better this time around.
I started and abandoned half way through
Union of Renegades by Tracy Falbe, a fantasy I picked up back in 2008. Trite and unconvincing, I should have abandoned it earlier.
Now reading
The Chinese Gold Murders by Robert Van Gulik. The 4th in his Judge Dee series, but first by internal chronology.
