I read Somewhere Toward Freedom: Sherman's March and the Story of America's Largest Emancipation by Bennett Parten It covers an overlooked aspect of Sherman's March to the sea in the US Civil war. This march broke the back of the Confederate war effort. But enslaved people fleeing plantations and attaching themselves to Sherman's army played a vital role in the success of the march. My 5 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I am still enjoying my Michael Connelly binge. Latest one was Echo Park, which I feared I might not have enjoyed because I saw the Bosch TV episode that was based partly on it. I was wrong. Bosch is not all plot, it's people, and I liked seeing them back at work.
My review of Echo Park

On a completely different note, I'm also getting a kick out of Alexander McCall Smith's mystery series for kids, going back to his famous Lady Detective's schoolgirl investigations. Precious and the Zebra Necklace is another I'd recommend for young and old.

I recently listened to the first 'volume' (two short stories in this) of the very entertaining New Adventures of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer Vol 1 by Max Allan Collins. They were full dramatisations, like radio plays with footsteps, gunshots and all.

They're narrated by the inimitable Stacy Keach, who played Hammer in the TV series, back in the day. Great fun from Audible.

My review of ‘Love and War in the Apennines’ by Eric Newby.

Favourite quote.

‘As the sun rose I could see Etna, a truncated cone with a plume of smoke over it like the quill of a pen stuck in a pewter inkpot, rising out of the haze to the north of where I was treading water.’

I finished Chain Reaction, the 3rd book in the Dez Limerick series, by James Byrne. I was blown away by this high-action, high-stake espionage thriller with a highly skilled hero "Dez" who’s a combo of Macgyver and Jack Reacher on steroids! 5 Stars! The development from book 1 to book 3 is amazing! My Review.
