Glad you enjoyed it Rachel. Iāve read all eight books, waiting for book nine! Iāve also read a couple of the Lord John books too. 
Half way through āYou Are Deadā by Peter James, excellent read as always from him.
Iām reading Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling) at the moment, canāt seem to stop reading it. I hope she hurries up with the next one!

Iāve just finished reading āWoolā by Hugh Howey, itās the first in a trilogy of books about a post apocalyptic world where the survivors live in a huge silo buried underground. Everyone has their own job to do, their own place in the order that keeps the world running smoothly. The population is carefully controlled with only the lottery winners allowed to try for a baby - lotteries are held when people die or are sent outside for cleaning. Cleaning involves being sent outside in an airtight suit similar to a space suit to clean the camera lenses with a pad of wool, the cameras give the only view of their unihabitable world. There is no return from cleaning, one of the crimes to merit being sent to clean is to talk about the outside or to express an interest in or desire to go outsideā¦
A great read, Iām already reading book 2.

Happy to be of help Annie
I finished āA man called Oveā, it made me laugh out loud and cry all in the same chapter, BRILLIANT.
Now I have started āThe Girl on the Trainā, few chapters in and I am hooked.

I have finished Girl on the Train, if anyone wants it I am happy to post it on to them for the price of the postage.
Iāve very recently finished The Widow by Fiona Barton. It was part of quite a dramatic story.
I borrowed it from the executive lounge at our hotel as I had nothing to read when our room was broken into and all our digital equipment : Camera, Hudl, Kindle (which I had preloaded with lots of lovely holiday reading matter 
) was all stolen.
So No camera to entertain when we were out and no Kindle / books to read when in.
Almost ruined my holiday.
Fortunately the Widow was excellent and I ended up bringing it home with me ā¦ I was just finishing it on the last morning, sitting on the balcony in the sun, when there was an awful sound of breaking glass and a loud scream from Bob.
He was trying to secure my broken-locked suitcase, down on his haunches, when he slipped a footstep backwards, into the mirror on the wall behind.
Ouch. Iād show you photos but you donāt want to see 13 stitches (removed today) down his back.
Anyway we ended up with a paramedic then a dash to hospital (weād "doneā the police station 4 days before !) with hotel manager driving our hire car, to get his wound cleaned and stitched and we caught the plane. The Widow went with me so I could finish it !
Iām now reading āKill me Againā by one of my favourite authors Rachel Abbott.
On my new Kindle (and I downloaded all my other books and made sure the stolen one has been deactivated as well as registered) which the Insurance company will be reimbursing me for any day now. As soon as Iām sure about that Iāll be replacing the camera too

Iām reading āthe lies we tell ourselvesā by Robin Talley. Based in Virginia during 1959. It follows two girls who are on opposites sides of a civil rights movement. Very powerful book.
