Oh, for sure a good one. But I quit practicing long ago. 
My problem IS gout. Which I wouldn't wish on anyone as the pain was gut-clenching at the onset. Well...there are some politicians I wouldn't mind sharing it with.
It hit my two middle toes then my entire foot swelled up like a balloon. It can affect any joint, evidently. I am not overweight, don't eat red meat and only have a few beers or wine every day. When my blood test came back positive for gout, I was flabbergasted. WTH? So, no more drinky poos for me. 
I am feeling much better now.
Re: The Power of the Dog, you did mention that one because I put it on my Trello list on Mar 12, so it was some time prior to that date.
I am so bummed that my library has no Peter May books that I decided to Google around a bit and I found this website, Thriftbooks.com, and just went on a shopping spree. I ordered 2 Mays, a Rankin and The Power of the Dog, all for $16 and free shipping. So, next time I can't get to the library, I am covered.
