I can't tell if these extracts are designed to enthral or repel?

“But that was Key West. It searched out and exploited the hairline crack in each person’s stability and crowbarred it open.”

I've read Ancillary Justice, I loved it and read the rest of the trilogy :-)

I've not read either of the other authors, happy to try whatever gets picked.

I'm currently reading another Josephine Tey crime book. I needed something calming after the trauma of Twin Peaks Episode 8.

Well, I'm locking in Florida Roadkill because I've just ordered it off AbeBooks for £1.68 + swingeing P&P

I'm looking forward to this. I survived Key West, I must be completely stable.

I touched on it earlier but here’s another strong recommendation for Bad Monkey on Apple TV+.

How did you get there Dio? Now the train doesn’t exist it seems the only options are to hire a car or fly directly. And the latter seems to take all the fun out.

Never been to the Keys. Very high on my want-to-go list

I would recommend. Although it's 20 years since I was there.

I've ordered here too as not in the library system. Which I think is the same libraries as @McGoohan
