Still reading Whispers Underground by Ben Aaronovitch. Book 3 of Rivers of London series.

Nothing much to talk about it yet.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I finished The Company Man by Robert Jackson Bennett. This was one of his early works and it shows in the character work and the romance. The atmosphere, worldbuilding and plot were on point though.

Now I've just started The Last Lifeboat by Hazel Gaynor. This is based on the true story of an evacuation boat during WWII that was sunk by the Nazis. It's still early to really judge it, but so far I love how one of the main characters is written, so hoping it lands for me.
