I love sci-fi and fantasy and anything that spans the genres. I adore Terry Pratchett and his writing, especially the Discworld. I would love to impress a dragon on Pern. I also enjoy crime stuff.

M. H. Eccleston: Death Comes to the Costa Del Sol (2023, Head of Zeus)

Cosy crime

Unlikeable and predictable characters in a novel that pushes a positive narrative about Spain and a negative narrative about the British living there. Feels very forced at times, and as if the author is very keen to share things they know about Spain so crams them awkwardly into the story. It's ok I guess if you want a bland holiday read.

M. H. Eccleston: Death Comes to the Costa Del Sol (2023, Head of Zeus)

Irritated by the lead character by the end of chapter 1. She's needy, slightly dim, and very precious. She dislikes her dads new wife although she seems sweet.
Chapter 2 shows she's dismissive and clueless about (early) twitter.

So far I'm more annoyed than entertained.

I'm hanging on in case she gets her comeuppance
