"Real Murders" by Charlaine Harris - we watched a couple on the telly and I knew we had this on the shelves. It's not overly demanding.
Earlier in the week I finished "Death in a White Tie" by Ngaio Marsh - pretty good who dunnit, though I spotted the murderer quite early.
Then "Til Death" by Ed McBain - a slightly odd 87th precinct story, but McBain was pretty much incapable of writing a bad book, so I enjoyed it.
Next was "The Shroud Maker" - an instalment in my current favourite mystery series - by Kate Ellis.
Then, oh dear, "The Man in the Queue" by Josephine Tey who is wonderful - normally. But this was her first attempt at mystery writing, and it's really not very good.
Next up I might try a Jo Nesbo... or another Kate Ellis.
Nothing much happens here. Johnson is speaking tonight and will announce a relaxation of the lockdown, which my wife & I will ignore. I didn't survive a heart attack to be killed off by that little fat f*ck.
I was ill at the start of February - and would have put it down to Covid except it was far too early. But now this story puts an outbreak of the virus just 8 miles away from here in early January. So it seems possible that I'm already a survivor.
