11. "Murder at the House on the Hill" by Victoria Walters
Sun Jan 2, 2022, 02:37 PM
Jan 2022

A cozy set in the Cotswolds by a new author to me. Haven't formed a judgement on it yet. Previously I read the Golden Age thriller "Mystery in White" . Dreadful. Ended the year with "The Christmas Killer" by Alex Pine. Also poor - largely because the protagonist must be the thickest detective in all of fiction.
New Year's Day was warm do we went to the seaside. And discovered a fantastic book shop: The Old Pier Bookshop and bought a lot of books.
Our festive period was ruined by Covid. My great niece tested positive, although she had no symptoms at all, despite being unvaccinated. She gave it to my brother in law and his wife, both of whom are in their late 60s and not in the very best shape. Both ill with it, but nowhere near being bad enough for hospital. Recovering now.
I now face a difficult choice about returning to work, given that catching covid would be certain.

Anyway, happy new year. I do think this will be the year that it just goes away.
