3. "Chasing The Dead" by Tim Weaver

The first in his "David Raker" series (although not the first that I've read). Pretty good so far.

Earlier in the week I read "Dead Still" by T. F. Muir and "Murder at The Castle" by M. B. Shaw. Both murder mysteries set in Scotland. Both recommended - especially the latter if you like a good cosy.

Went on a little holiday to a place called Seahouses, which is nearly as far north as it's possible to get in England. Had a lovely time, although I have discovered that I now have pretty much zero tolerance for other people.

Johnson's policy now seems to be to get as many anti-vaxxers infected as he can as quickly as possible. In my heart of hearts I can't say that this bothers me (they have been calling for doctors & nurses to be executed - so fuck 'em).

Pip pip!
