What I read
Well, Network Effect was great, but I think it is one of those books one reads in a gulp at great speed and then needs to reread to pick up on all the subtleties.
Sara Paretsky, Total Recall (2001) - this was where I thought they really started picking up and developing more complexity.
Ben Aaronovitch, False Value (2020) - quite good, I thought, though I was a bit taken aback that an undercover identity involved setting up - in what one must assume was relatively recent years rather than a decade or longer ago - a LiveJournal for disaffected grumbling. A bit retro?
Alexis Hall, The Affair of the Mysterious Letter (2019) - okay, but not in my favoured mode, and generally struck me as a bit self-indulgently clever-clever.
KJ Charles, Slippery Creatures (2020) - well, I devoured this, and when can we have the sequels? - tiny pedantic point, Will would not have had the Military Cross if he was Other Ranks, until really late in the C20th it was only awarded to commissioned officers, NCOs and others got the Military Medal.
On the go
Sara Paretsky, Blacklist (2003)
Up next
Will I actually embark on the new biography of Margery Spring-Rice? or will it be all VI all the time again?
