Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

No but Shirley has been dumped. I have returned the title to Audible. Sorry, Bint.

The latest Rebus novel by Ian Rankin, the 25th, is out today. I nabbed my copy from Tesco, £12.50 Clubcard price. (I feel dirty, but there you go)

It's called Midnight and Blue, a title that harks back to the 8th book in the Rebus series, Black and Blue, the novel Rankin cites as being the one where his writing moved up a level, as did his sales. Although not publicised as such, unlike Exit Music (2007, #17), I very much suspect that this might be the last in the series, with death rather than retirement on the cards for John Rebus. I should emphasise that this is not a spoiler as I've read no more than the opening chapter teaser that was sent out last month.

No need for apologies

I’m struggling to get into it, too, which is disappointing as I’m a fan of her work.

Going to give it a proper go at the weekend and see how it goes

I have Hangsaman. As I'm about 150 pages into a 900 page book, I think I'll put that on hold and start Hangsaman

I have Hangsaman, and have read the first 22 pages. It doesn't seem to have chapters, which is a bit of a blow. But it is very intriguing, with an undertow of "disquieting", and I shall most likely stick with it.
