My review of: If Only by Angela Marsons
A big departure from her usual crime fiction, this is not my usual choice of reading fare but I had to try it because she’s such a good author…hmm I gave it 4⭐️s because the writing is still good.

You can read it or listen to him read My Purple Scented Novel ..."I thought it was worth sharing, Thomas. I've read a couple of good novels based on a somewhat similar premise, but this was an interesting take. For anyone interested, here's the review with a link to the story online.

Race Cars: A children's book about white privilege is an illustrated story of two cars, one black and one white, who are best friends. The "committee" keeps making the black car's race longer! 
4★ Link to my review of Race Cars with several pictures.
I was delighed to enjoy watching Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club solve the mystery of The Man Who Died Twice. It's every bit as good as their first outing, I reckon!
5★ Link to my Man Who Died Twice review
The thriller Falling, by T.J. Newman, has attracted a lot of fans, and I can see why. It would make a terrific movie or mini-series. A terrible dilemma, lots of tension, and some good characters.
