Not that anyone likely cares, nor does it really matter, but I finally (probably a couple years too late) pulled the plug on Twitter, and will be posting here exclusively. It felt like when my local mall started dying--except with more bigots, creeps, and the bad kind of weirdo.

Having really enjoyed watching Down Cemetery Road and all the series of Slow Horses we decided to have a listen to the full book The Last Voice You Hear.
I love the prose and style. May well read all of them from the start.
