I read The King Arthur Case: A Brittany Mystery by Jean-Luc Bannalec My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...I compare this police procedural series to cerebral mystery authors such as Agatha Christie and Hakon Nesser. It is set in Brittany, France.
I am a great fan of Mick Herron's Slough House series but didn't realise that The Secret Hours was so wonderfully connected to it. Loved seeing some old favourites, back in the day in Berlin.
My review of The Secret Hours
Wonder Woman, Vol. 3: The Truth⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars
Diana has now become Wonder Woman and the book is a dark descent into darkness for her.
One of the better graphic novels on Wonder Woman. Series is worth reading.
