@kcfromaustcrime@bookstodon No. on it now. It’s 12:15 here, and I’m still reading, so I’ll check that out. Thanks. I Just finished The Prague Sonata, not anything like our Irish friends, but a good long read on music. I know you have read all the Len Deighton. Sure wish he was still alive. I’m off to check out Bloomsbury. I like your taste. So thanks again. It gets harder and harder to find books I like reading. I have lived too long.

Another not much happened update from last week on AustCrime. In my defence, a lot of books are being read, which isn't leaving a lot of time for much else.
