Good choice. I loved that. I did then struggle with Of Love And Shadows, though, so it's back on my growing TBR pile ... #devonbookhour

Evening! Talking of the 1970s, I've just finished Message From Malaga by Helen McInnes, a pretty decent espionage thriller published in '71. The scenes evoking life in late '60s Andalucia were great, especially my favourite European city of Granada.

The joy of being so late to Charles Cumming's Thomas Kell party and devouring A Foreign Country over Christmas is that I have two more in the series immediately to hand! #amreading #spythriller #fiction #booksky #amwriting

A pacy thriller with great characterisation of people, place and eras, and a dark belter of a twist I didn't see coming! Congrats to @lucynichol.bsky.social on her latest triumph, Girls To The Front, which I devoured in just two sittings ... #booksky #fiction #thriller 📚💙
