12. "We Begin at the End" by Chris Whitaker

Nov 2022

30 years after killing a child, the killer is released and returns to his home town. A thriller set in California, but written by an author from Hertfordshire. This is our book group selection for this month - normally they are stinkers - but this one is highly rated, and has started well. Bit dark though.

I shall be doing a lot of reading over the next few weeks -TV schedules are dominated by the FIFA World Cup, and I am boycotting it.

I think I might pick up a Robert Crais next - haven't visited Elvis & Joe for a while.

Happy reading to you all.
