Finlay Donovan Rolls the Dice


Elle Cosimano has written her novels as standalones because she alludes to events in previous novels, but she has refrained from making the latest novel completely spoiler-y. So it would be okay to delve into the series here.

The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann

It was more interesting than I had expected given that so much was revealed in the title. Murder, mutiny, disease, and starvation revealed just how thin is the veneer of civilisation that covers man.
