A new author to me. A police procedural set in the Scottish Borders. Pretty good so far.
Previous read was Fatal Isles by Maria Adolfsson. Another police procedural - set in Doggerland, an imaginary set of islands in the North Sea between England and Denmark. Pretty good but about 100 pages too long. Doggerland really did exist, but was inundated in pre-history.
Covid is raging out of control AGAIN, but us oldies who are doubly vaccinated seem to have little to fear.
I'm off to watch the European Championship final on TV- more in hope than expectation. I think it could turn quite nasty should England lose.
