That sounds good. And speaking of H.H. Munro aka Saki, what a great storyteller!

I've been a bit busy lately, but I did finish The Devil's Flute Murders, another Detective Kindaichi mystery from Pushkin-Vertigo. Strange but very good. I also watched the movie adapted from this novel (1979) and I'm happy I read the book first or I likely would have been lost. The film was not made by Kon Ichikawa like the others I've seen, where Kindaichi was played by Koji Ishizaka, likely the best Kindaichi ever.

I recently finished The Paris Collaborator by A.W. Hammond. Set during the last days of the Paris occupation, this is a pacy missing persons investigation that also has to dodge all the dangers that a German occupation might entail.

Killer Traitor Spy is a very current Aussie thriller in former journalist Tim Ayliffe's Greater Good series. It's not just Reds under the bed anymore! It's a big world and it's full of spies

I love the series, but this would be just as good as a standalone.

Bad Timing

The Housekeepers by Alex Hay

This is the story of a huge heist -- London 1905. This book is so good it's hard to believe it's Hay's first. Fantastic characters, and the plot carries so much tension it's absolutely amazing. Wonderful book; I loved it. 5 stars, highest recommendation.

I'm currently reading The Body Under the Bridge by Nick Louth


I'm so happy that I can say 'reading' because since my eye surgery last month reading was virtually impossible for a couple of weeks. It will never be easy again because I lost a lot of sight in one eye, but eventually I will get used to that.

I've tried audiobooks but since I'm a very fast reader I could not get used to the slow pace of them.

My Review

[Pamela]

I'm so happy that I can say 'reading' because since my eye surgery last..."

you can speed up the reading on audiobooks. That may work for you. You do have to learn to adjust to the pace of audiobooks. I can say that I enjoy both reading and listening, but I have very little time to actually read and can listen to books while I do other things.
