Bang on Sophie. I can't stand them either.
The utter blood and horror mess of 'everyday' murder and the cruelty and nihilism of murders carried out in the service of organised crime, makes cozy crime and the films that arise from the books risible

There are urgent economic reasons for a pivot back towards the EU. There are urgent cultural and social reasons too and now, with that greedy narcissistic fascist in the White House, there are urgent geopolitical reasons too.
