The Blitz Detective Investigates - The Canning Town Murder: Mike Hollow

Well, March was certainly a much better month for reading than February was!  It's amazing how many books can be got through when doing lots of train travel 😉  

As you can probably tell by the fact that the latest Pitkirtly book is number 30, I really enjoy these stories by Cecilia Peartree and have worked my way through all of them to date.  I had a little look through the books stored on my Kindle and came across the Inspector Dalgliesh ones that I hadn't yet got round to reading, so they also helped pass the time sitting on various trains!

Mike Hollow is a new-to-me author who popped up in my Amazon recommendations, so I thought I'd give him a whirl to see whether I liked his writing.....which I do, so he's yet another author for me to add to the list😏 I'm a bit naughty, to be honest, because I've got masses of unread books on my Kindle but get so easily get distracted by a lovely shiny new one!  All I can say is that it's a bloody good job that they are in a digital format otherwise we wouldn't be able to move in the house for stacks of books 😄
