Just Like Iago
There is a morbid fascination with murder, I think, if that's not too obvious and trite a thing to say. I bet if you looked at the proportion of TV programmes that are dedicated to the discovery of who-killed-who, it would be a fair percentage. And so many adopted formats!

Rachel Reviews: Death in the Tallgrass by Donald Willerton
I really enjoyed Death in the Tallgrass. Firstly, it is best that you know that I love any book which is set in the Wild West: in the days of the pioneers and settlers and their encounters with Native American tribes; with the stories of the less reputable white folk who find themselves down on their luck and trying to find a way to survive; where people looking for a new life or travelling to a better one were exposed on the plains and carried guns for protection and to use for hunting for sustenance. It is the perfect setting and environment for a tense tale of adventure. And that is what Willerton has created here.

Rachel Reviews: The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell
I am so glad I discovered Katherine Rundell. This has been one of the best things that I can take away from 2023 - The Golden Mole was a revelation and, when I discovered that she also wrote fiction, it was only a matter of time until I sought her out.

Rachel Reviews: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a book which is very much of my time, set in the days where the world of gaming was beginning to blossom into the powerhouse of entertainment that it is today.
