Hmmm. So, um Calais got in the way a bit but am reading again. I spent every spare moment discussing tear gas and ring pull tuna for a while
17. A hero in France- Alan Furst. Historical ww2 spy stuff. This one a bit formulaic.... entertaining enough. He knows how to write a tense 'almost discovered by the Germans' scene
18. Hillbilly Elegy- J.D. Vance. Absolutely fascinating. Republican lawyer and TV talking head talking about his childhood in rural Kentucky
19. The hanging tree- Ben Aaronovitch. Latest in the series. Setting back in London and back on form.
20. Conclave- Robert Harris. Weirdly compelling though for most of it nothing happens! Really atmospheric
21. Waking lions- Ayelet Gundar-Goshen. Amazing. Doctor runs over an undocumented refugee and when he realises he is dead, drives away rather than losing everything. Then the dead man's wife comes to his house. Really tense, interesting people, explores the what might you do question against a backdrop of Israeli politics and complexities. Loved it.
22. One night, maarkovitch- Ayelet Gundar-Goshen. Read because of the book above. Didn't enjoy it at all. Whimsical and irritating.
23. Girl at War- Sara Novic. Based in the balkans. Brilliant. Bleak. Unexpected too- things happen that you never saw coming.
