Into the Darkest Day by Kate Hewitt after finishing the exciting

Wuthering Heights by Emily BrontëI've never read any of this old favorites so this is going to be interesting!
My reading has been a little up and down during lockdown here in London. Dozens of kids books read to Miss Five, several New Zealand crime novels read for some awards and events things (events may end up being virtual, of course), and a few other books here and there. A near one-sitting read for me this week was Trust Me, I'm Dead, the first crime novel from a Kiwi/Aussie author.
I'm currently reading and really enjoying A Crack in the Wall by Argentine author Claudia Pineiro. A crime novel set in Buenos Aires, but a different style to US/UK crime fiction. Nice to have a wee change for a bit.
Sandy I’m glad that your enjoying the book called Killing Mind by Angela Marsons and no problem Sandy and Sandy I really liked my book called Cross Her Heart by Melinda Leigh
