The first book was a great read. ⭐️

What did you think? I tire of the old crime cliche of someone gone missing who’s eventually found after being locked up for years. Dept Q was an innovative version. I think the Syrian assistant detective was the standout character and actor. Cool as a cucumber.

Dept Q, set in Scotland, based on the Danish books. Matthew Goode stars, it’s quite entertaining but a bit tedious too.

Have you tried tartan noir?

And importantly who gets the top jobs at our @abcnewsbot.bsky.social in the news and current affairs sector, arguably the most critical yet criticised of all.

I don’t know too many people who get up before 4:30am in summer here in Brisbane.

I read that book about 50 years ago. It’s heartbreaking.

45°, that’s tough!
