Scott Turow. Presumed Innocent. I enjoy courtroom drama. This is the first of his that I have read. I will be searching for others. I’ve read all ( I think) of John Grisham books of a similar vein. I recall Rumpole of the Bailey with very fond memories.

My friends who found out that I started playing golf recommended this book to me too.

Wilbur Smith Stonehenge. Having finished a number of Tom Clancy (read-alikes/same cast as he's dead!) and Bernard Cornwell ones.
Heavy going currently (early days, so still 'scene setting')
Might try a Grisham again after that, having gone off them a bit a while ago.

Reading through the Jack Reacher books. Have most of them on my Kindle but haven't read all of them. A bit trashy, but I might as well get my money's worth out of them before I move on to new ones.
I highly recommend Bill Clinton and Robert Patterson's "The President's Daughter" - the best thriller I've read in years.

Finished The Midnight Library by Matt Haig last week which was very good, been trying to get into The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt since then and struggling tbh, it’s big and slooooow. Might put it aside and download a Alastair Reynolds sci-fi. Come back to Goldfinch another time.

Round the Bend by Nevil Shute. An old paperback copy that is falling apart with pages falling out…but I’ve still got them all…and it’s a really good read.

Just finished The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver. Excellent story told with humour of a young woman rising above adversity, with caring and gentle rage against injustice and prejudice set across the landscapes of Oklahoma and Arizona.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle: Haruki Murakami
Thursday Murder Club, Richard Osman. Think Father Brown meets Midsomer Murders ?. Very enjoyable, very thoughtful, very jolly, wonderfully middle England. Well worth a read.

Just abandoned Tender is the night. I know it’s a classic but I did not get on with it.

I never read books - but the 1st one for many many years "What really happened in Wuhan" I'm not far in but China can't be allowed to get away with this!

Working my way through the Mike Herron series re the failed 'spooks' based in Slough House. Only recently discovered them. Brilliant
