4. "Death at Dukes Halt" by Derek Farrell
Sun Feb 20, 2022, 12:47 PM
Feb 2022

A contemporary country house whodunnit, part of the haul from the literary event we attended last week.
Earlier on I read "Black Reed Bay" by Rod Reynolds, a police procedural set in the US, but written by a Londoner. Very good indeed.

We have had storm force winds, heavy snow and now heavy rain over the past few days. Little bit of flooding locally, but none in the village.

Johnson, we are told, is going to remove the remaining Covid restrictions. That should be interesting - but it's not nevessarily wrong.

Good reading everyone!
