Ian Rankin Rebus read them in date order as it is an ongoing story cant help thinking of the tv characters when  reading Ken Stott etc. also Mark Billingham and Michael Connelly [Harry Bosch].

[Growster...]

Mark Billingham is very good - Thorne is a brilliant character! I've got another one of his stashed away, so will get it out...!

Have you read any of David Hewson's books? Try 'The Killing' Trilogy! Must be read in order for a fabulous read!

[Goosegirl]

Yes, I've read his books as well.

I'm reading Seven Stones to Stand or Fall, a collection of short stories that slot into/between the main Outlander series of books (9 so far)

Having read Nevil Shute's 'On the beach' and finishing it last evening; feeling suitably, and utterly, sadly depressed too, I'm on H.E.Bates 'My Uncle Silas' stories at the moment to cheer myself up...:0(

Looking out of the back door porch when the sunrise happens and I see the dark silhouette of the leaves on the apple trees, they so remind me of something in the book "The History of Mr Polly" where he describes the same thing about nettle leaves looking like pagodas.

Just finished Paul Eddington's biog.

He did a heck of a lot more than just 'The Good Life', and 'Yes Minister'! Some of the theatre stories are pretty interesting, and he never seemed to be out of work!

The first time I ever remember seeing him, was in a TV series called 'Hine', back in 1971. He had a part which was diametrically opposite to his Quaker/pacifist views in that particular programme!

Waiting for my next book, The Princes in the Tower: Solving History's Greatest Cold Case by Philippa Langley, to arrive.
This is the lady, you may recall, whose research lead to the dig that found Richard III.

We watched a film about that only recently, but I just cannot remember what it was called!

[mumofstig]

Think it was on 3 or 4 days ago, but I missed it. There will be much more detail in the book, though 

[wighty]

What channel was that on, please, as I must have missed it and could watch it on catch up.

[mumofstig]

Channel 4

[Yorkie]

I watched that - it was utterly fascinating!

[Growster...]

Apols, the article I watched was on YouTube, and just about Richard III...

You can search and find quite a lot of similar items on the main YT website!

Thanks MoS, I'll give that a look.
