Throughout sixteen days of isolation, it was important to get a longer book out of my catalogue and looking through the list I’d got available, I found Betty Church and the Suffolk Vampire. When I bought this, Audible described this as book one, so it seemed like a good idea, as it is always beneficial […]
The Thursday trawl through Audible’s new crime and thriller offerings allowed me to discover the third Kate London novel (published by Clipper Audio).

Today I have decided to publish two articles, this one covers last weeks visit to the cinema to see The Invisible Man. This version, although somewhat different to HG Wells’ original, still had a criminal undertone.
