#MurderEveryMonday Orange Cover

For today’s #MurderEveryMonday I’m reusing an old photo of the crime fiction novel with the most orange cover I have. This is the ninth volume in the Adam Dalgliesh series and I think I like it when I read it.

Friday Update: The Reading Queue (10th April)

This update is bought to you in the aftermath of an Easter break where not enough reading got done. To be honest, not a lot of anything much got done, I started wading through a recently deceased relative's boxes of photos and disappeared down some very nostalgic byways.
