You have no doubt read the hype around latest Scandi sensation Nicklas Natt och Dag - but don't let that put you off. His The Wolf and The Watchman is a triumph.
Full review: It's got plenty violence but no boobs.
Enjoy.
The brass balls on that boy.
The cars, the baby, the nappy... What a top tale.
You like your books a bit paddy, don't you? Are you a fan of Joseph O'Connor? I liked his Star of the Sea. Anyway, Shadowplay is rather fun. It's got thon Bram Stoker and Henry Irving in, for all love!
Also, I'm currently listening to Court Number One: The Old Bailey Trials that Defined Modern Britain. Recommended.
It was the thing of going into the Ljubjanka knowing they were onto him that impressed me.
I did like Star of the Sea (although it stole Wuthering Heights' narrative structure wholesale) and am wondering what to do with my remaining Audible Credit this month. I shall give it a whirl. Ta.
btw, if you're on the lookout for a new podcast, there's one with James Holland and Al Murray that discusses much WWII minutiae called 'We have ways of making you talk' (terrible title, I know) and is really quite fun, nerdy and interesting.
