The Constant Rabbit by Jasper Fforde - its got everything in it - immigration, minorities, racism, liberalism and its bloody funny too! One of the best books I've read n years and I read a lot.

Has anyone read books by Mick Herron?
I love the programme Slow Horses and I don’t read fiction but thought it may be a good place to start.

So that would make you the brother in law of Feargal Sharkey then. Big fan of Feargal, his music and politics.

Looks to be the sort of book I would enjoy.

Indeed Feargal is the bro-in-law.

The book is a real deep dive into music history - it’s been picked up by academia. I do get an early mention, when my sister picked up and played my copy of Unknown Pleasures and wondered what the hell it was - probably weren’t too many Joy Division fans in rural Lincolnshire at that point.

Psychopaths Anonymous- Will Carver.

Think AA with serial killers, or the 12 steps with sociopaths.

Well written, dark and graphic, with plenty of black humour, and I loved it.
