After a bit of a hiatus, I've finished Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. I shouldn't have read it at night though ... so very dark.

Known during the Depression as "the most violent woman in Sydney", Iris Webber led a rough and ready life as a thief and prostitute. Aussie author Fiona Kelly McGregor paints a vivid picture of the underworld and extreme poverty of the 1930s.

I hope The Incredible Hotel actually exists somewhere, exactly the way Kate Davies and Isabelle Follath describe it. Lovely story and gorgeous artwork.

The Devil's Playground by Craig Russell

Fun noir mystery set mostly in Hollywood in 1927, the era of silent movies. A studio is filming the world's greatest horror movie but Mary Rourke, the studio publicity lady/fixer is getting involved in some real life danger and murder. I mostly liked the book ( great plot idea!) but Russell's style took a little getting used to. I would recommend the book -- 3.5 stars.

In this Detective Chief Inspector Karen Pirie mystery, which takes place during the Covid lockdown (which was very strict in Scotland), the Scottish police investigate the disappearance of an aspiring writer.

Some of my favorite Dame Agatha are Tommy and Tuppence. If you watch a dramatization, make sure it's the Francesca Annis one!!
