Rereading the Black Autumn series. If you're into post-apocalyptic fiction, this series ranks up there with the best, IMO. The writers (there are two) know their stuff, adding lots of authenticity to a subject that is many times over done and hard to see happening. There's no asteroid, no global nuclear war, no EMP attack, no zombies, no pandemic. Just a few things that tipped the scales to the wrong side and, voila, a slippery slide into a national financial and civil meltdown. The characters are all very well drawn from numerous different backgrounds that are all treated with an unprejudiced POV for the most part. Good stuff.

I'm jealous Gis. Roy Grace is one of my favourite series and you still have 5 to go!

Started on the 16th book in Peter James series of detective Roy Grace, Find Them Dead

Quintin Jardine - Secrets & Lies. Latest in the Bob Skinner series, set in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Spain. A good series
Stuart Pawson - Last Reminder, Very old but still good, Main character poiceman Charlie Priest
Brian Freeman - The Watcher. Another oldie, this one Jonny Stride, Serena & Maggie
Cath Staincliffe - The Fells. Fairly new and new characters from her.4
Lee Child - In Too Deep. See my comments in the Reacher section

OOHHH. anything to report on the REACHER book? I bought it but haven't read it yet.

Well, half way through and it's the typical new style that i don't like.
It's very confusing to read and i keep having to try and remember the characters and their place in the story

I'm still reading the books I bought on my trip off a few weeks ago starting with Brian Freeman. The first ever in the Jonny Stride series. Then I moved on to Brian McGillvary, his books are set in Ireland more or less in the border between NI and the Republic. My son has given me two very thick books by David Baldacci

I started reading Crais because y'all here had suggested him years ago. I really enjoyed them. Still haven't read anything really in years ('cept Dans WONDERFUL book!)

[Gismo]

Onto the latest Reacher book, In Too Deep

Nice to know Mr Pawson has another fan, Lucy

My recent reads are:
Stuart MacBride - Place of Darkness. I have read a lot by this author, this is his new one. Police procedurals set in and around Aberdeen in the north of Scotland. Always good with a sprimkling of humour. https://knife-market.com/listing/cat...folding-knives
Stuart Pawson, I have read four of his which feature a Policeman called Charlie Priest. These are set in a ficticious town in the north of Emgland, close to where I live. Charlie visits real towns, including mine. They are all very old because this author died in 2010
Last Reminder - Chill Factor - Limestone Cowboy - Some by Fire social media marketing services
Robert Crais - Lullaby Town. Very old and featuring Detective Elvis Cole. A long time since I read one of these
Frieda McFadden - The Housemaid. This lady writes some very different stories and very good
Frieda McFadden - The Locked Door. See above
Peter Finch - Never Seen Again New author to me but very good

In and among I read a couple of non-fiction

Coronation Street, 1960 - 2000. This is about a UK TV soap. I haven't seen it for years but I was a fan back in the day and it was good to reminisce (?). You are probably not familiar with this series, I don't know if it is braoadcast in the US. It is, or certainly was, broadcast in Canada as I used to discuss it with Mo
Peter Kay. Peter is a UK comedian and very very funny.

I love that Stuart Pawson's stories
